Hello Bill, Take a look to the contrib directory in struts project. It contains ServiceManager subproject. Half year ago I start to work under it, prepare initial version and post it to the community. Last month I try to refactor my old code, and improve core functions.
I am ready to listen all ideas about it. Friday, November 02, 2001, 6:21:06 PM, you wrote: BB> Hello all. BB> I'm just getting to know Struts so please bear with me.
