Sounds good.
In my ignorance (and still being somewhat new to struts) I wasn't
aware of the aforementioned generic classes. Of course the generic
outline I just posted in another mail should be adjusted to use these.

Agreed.
Talking about this I think struts also needs some kind of application
configuration file. AFAICT the resources won't suffice as I might need
configuration information inside my EJB etc. as well.
Or is there something already which simply escaped me ?
Best,
