First, an action should never make a database call. Second, the call to the helper object making the db call should be wrapped in a try-catch and you can execute a line of control (specific forward) if an IOException occurs.

For example, if an action is authenticating a user during a logon session by opening a db connection and for some reason, the connection hangs, would the framework be able to detect that? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
