Hello, All of my Actions may throw Exceptions during their initialization phase (during setServlet). setServlet isn't set up to throw any Exceptions. What happens if my Action class is not able to initialize properly (can't get a reference to my EJBs or a DataSource, as an example). I would want to somehow signal to the ActionServlet that this Action is invalid. If I can't throw an exception, is there a way to notify the ActionServlet that this Action is invalid? Thanks very much for any tips and pointers! Seth Seth Ladd | Software Engineer, Product Development Brivo Systems, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Confidential and Proprietary, Brivo Systems, Inc.
