As mentioned elsewhere, the next step would be to define an "API object" for the use of Taglibs and other UI technologies. The Velocity Tools for Struts has already created an API that can do everything the Struts Taglibs do, and more. * http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/tools/ The idea would be that the Action would push the "API object" out to the response rersource (JSP, Velocity Template), so that the response resource would not need to know where Struts hides everything. Everything a UI would need to know would be in the API object. The concept goes back several years to the "ConfigHelper", but was lost in the module hullabaloo. * http://shorl.com/gytulalumuna Happily, the Velocity gang ran with the idea, and came up with the Velocity Tools. But, before starting down the "UI API object" road, we first wanted to get a numbered build out. -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
