I really do like Maurice's approach of keeping things as simple as possible. I likewise feel that everyone should develop an instant knee-jerk reaction AGAINST adding more configuration options for users to be befuddled by, and that it should be viewed as a distasteful last resort.

Sure, but is it all about what you can do and not about how? I certainly
see your point, but that calls into question why there are two mechanisms
at all, much less how the mechanisms are invoked. Why not have one
mechanism that does it all? (I know that while my vote doesn't count for
much in WW, I'd rebel against losing views.properties. It's my friend. It
keeps me warm at night. It fights off the trolls.)

use or care about just as well. I think that's probably a justifiable
change.
Go reread my reply to Pat. His custom frobnigator doesn't do anything that I couldn't do with even views.properties.Check out this example from view.properties: jasperTest.action=jasperreports.OrderList jasperTest.success=orderList.jasper?dataSource=orders Last I checked you could also do this with Actions. Maybe a param tag in actions.xml would make this more elegant, but that's about it. -Maurice--------------------------------------------------------- Joseph B.

rail on how complicated the webwork.properties file is and he proposes
yet another configuration option.
Pat, put down the pipe! :-)
