Perhaps I am. I have an action which retrieves a couple of values from a database. If the retreival fails, it return some reasonable default values instead. It is these defaults which I want to be user configurable, that is, configurable from some initialization file. The introspection/set-parameter feature, found in PlugIns, would solve my problem, but it isn't available for actions, only actionmappings. > On Sun, 23 Jan 2005 17:09:45 -0600, Eddie Bush <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Actions are, effectively, singletons.

The action is specialized, it is only responsible for making sure the values are set in the request's session, so it will not be called from different actionmappings. Further, as soon as the action have been instantiated the configurable member variables will be used as read-only values. So there is no concurrency issue involved. -- Fredrik Jonson --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
