Robert, For issues concerning schema languages etc have a look at http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/12/12/schemacompare.html
I definitely recommend Log4J over servletcontext log. You may want to consider using DOM4J instead of JDOM - similar capabilities but dom4j has programmatic XPath support. Also for XML handling look at the the Jakarta xtags taglib (it uses dom4j under the hood).

Here are some things I've been thinking... 1) We will Struts!!! 2) Use ApplicationResources file to contain all presentation strings 3) Is Log4J better than servletcontext.log()? 4) Use SSL to transfer user credit card info 5) Use JDOM/Digester to work with XML messages 6) How to service XML (XML-RPC, Weblogic Services, Message Beans, Struts Actions via HTTP)??? 7) Which struts features can I use for Cookies? logic:present for testing, what about setting? 8) I'm comfortable with DTDs, should I use schemas instead? Your ideas will be appreciated...

I found the new commons-beanutils package that has new methods in PropertyUtils (getMappedProperty() and setmappedProperty()). To solve my second problem I now hardcoded my form bean's name into the custom tag implementation to look it up in pageContext. However, my struts release (version 1.0) doesn't populate the form bean when I submit the form. I the servlet log I do see that Struts looks up and recycles the form bean and it logs that it populates the form bean but the dynamic properties' setter method isn't called. Do I need a new struts release that uses the common-beanutils package. If so, which build has support for this.
