I can't claim "better" as I haven't tried anything else, but I use a ServletContextListener to put Maps into Application scope for use as the contents of select lists. I'm not sure if you would have access to struts-config at that point, though. I use a .properties file to determine what database to connect to, and have the other info hard coded in the DAO class, although it can be overridden in the properties file. -- Wendy Smoak Applications Systems Analyst, Sr. Arizona State University PA Information Resources Management
