Hi Wouter, you're absolutly right. It's really difficult to model the complete web application with tagged values, because we have to add a lot of information into the trigger attributes of each transition. And often we have to use the same attributes in more than one transition. So I think it will be nice to optionally add those informations (tagged values) to the business layer entity's attributes or to the VO's attributes. Or perhaps a new "StrutsEntity" will carry those informations. And then we can use attributes with a specific entity datatype in those triggers. This will help to let the activity graphs more simple. But more tricky code in the cartridge is needed. Regarding to the widget information of a table's column: A reference or a tagged value with a reference from a collection to the entity (or VO or StrutsEntity) could handle this. Or we specify a entity with multiplicity params instead of a collection. This is only my first idea and must be specified more detailed. And I know that this will need some changes in the cartridge. What do you think? Oemer PS: I think it's better to remove some stuff by hand, than code them by hand.
