Rick, You can already accomplish what you are describing with the current Struts architecture via <set-property> elements.
<action ...> <set-property property="prop" value="val"> </action> This will call the setProp(String value) method of your action object with the "val" value. The Struts Console makes it easy for setting these properties on actions. http://www.jamesholmes.com/struts/ -james [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Rick Mann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've noticed a few people proposing solutions for > various framework > limitations that use the "param" attribute of the > <action> tag.
