Along the same lines, one of the things we did in JavaServer Faces (with regards to configuration) is to have the controller servlet automatically recognize "META-INF/faces-config.xml" resources in any JAR files that were included in the application. This makes it very easy to package a module, or some other sub-unit of an overall webapp, as a single JAR file that self-configures. > Joe Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
