Well, yes and no... It restricts the maps to be used that have exactly the type: Map<String, Object> But it does not mean that you cannot use as a value for each entry an object of a class that extends Object. I did not see currently that particular Struts 2 code yet, it needs an investigation of what is the best solution (maybe yours :-) ). Antonio
