But, there are lots of reasons to instrument action forms and this allows you to do that. You instrument such forms, of course, by subclassing !BeanMapForm. Check Joshua Bloch's ''Effective Java'', Item 14 (favor composition over inheritance), p. 71 ''et seq'', to understand the intricacies involved with instrumentation and collection classes. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
