James I have a separate thread going on this, I apologize for that, but I'll summarize, and please excuse my ignorance.
Essentially, I understand your point , but if I may delve deeper, I see that inheritance wise, 1. PropertyMessageResources extends MessageResources 2. PropertyMessageResourcesFactory extends MessageResourcesFactory Logical. So, I'll create 1. DatabaseMessageResources extends MessageResources 2. DatabaseMessageResourcesFactory extends MessageResourcesFactory Questions 1. should I create them in the org.apache.struts.util. package? mucking with struts seems risky 2. how do I tell the application to use MY DatabaseMessageResourcesFactory and DatabaseMessageResources instead of PropertyMessageResourcesFactory and PropertyMessageResources then... I'd just create my own Struts.jar with all my nice custom code in it? uggghhhorammmaaaa also, that begs several questions... 1. where am I most logically making my DB connection? in my app now, it happens AFTER the message reources are loaded. oh the pain...
