RE: Using an extension of ModuleConfigImpl
Thanks, Rob. This should work quite nicely. I'll try it out and let you know. --aslam -Original Message- From: Rob Leland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 26, 2003 12:31 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Using an extension of ModuleConfigImpl Rob Leland wrote: Rob Leland wrote: Karachiwala, Aslam wrote: I do use extensions of ActionConfig ForwardConfig.

You can write minor extensions to some config elements like action and forward.

RE: Using an extension of ModuleConfigImpl
I do use extensions of ActionConfig ForwardConfig. What I've done is implement a layer of extensions of Struts classes, in which I've added custom fields and methods that I need. I'd like to do the same for ModuleConfig. Is that even possible without tinkering with the Struts code? --aslam -Original Message- From: Mike Jasnowski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 10:41 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Using an extension of ModuleConfigImpl You can write minor extensions to some config elements like action and forward.
