If you use the typical DAO pattern, that's usually just a simpmle if-else statement in your Action to call the insert() or update() method of your DAO. > Also, two general questions to the forum.

Even more importantly, you should trim down the message you are quoting to just the part you are addressing, if it's not the whole message. > Second, It gets to be difficult to see if a question has already been answered > before I post.

You probably should not assume that any particular person will always answer questions in a particular topic area -- they might be busy or offline, or just not in a mood to answer questions on that particular day :-). In terms of mechanics, I always read mailing lists with the message sort set to threaded -- then, it's trivially simple to see if there have been responses yet (and even look at them to confirm), in an attempt to avoid completely redundant responses. Of course, there are still the inevitable race conditions (multiple people composing and sending answers at the same time). > -josh > Craig -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
