Well this is based on a new commons component so I doubt that pageflow does exactly this. It would be great if you looked at commons-chain and the struts extension of that and enhanced it with features from pageflow. It doesn't make much sense to have two things that do similar things in Struts. David > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Craig R.
