I agree that it doesn't sound like Struts. However, when I saw that Command Chaining is going to be added to the framework, I thought I would add this to the discussion. Having gone down the path once before with our own framework, I was curious to see if anyone else had interest. Our "Command Chaining" evolved into a more general "Command Execution" framework whereby commands could be run in sequence or parallel. Our company is currently "standardizing" around several open source projects, Struts being one of them. Struts is definitely more feature rich than our MVC framework, especially the validation and internationalization components.. However, the "parallel" execution of commands is currently the only thing we will miss. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
