Ok. I guess I'm not familiar enough with struts yet to see how to apply
this type of logic dynamically to the action mapping. I certainly *don't*
want to assign these mappings in the .XML file if that is what you are
suggesting. I do see some sense in extending the ActionMapping class to do
this for me, though.
thanks for the quick response,
jeff
