'Typical' is not always better. I am finishing rewriting Mail Reader using my approach, and it looks much cleaner, at least to me ;) and is more robust. I understand that having session objects opens a whole can of worms related to garbage-collecting of abandoned objects, and Struts does not have this facility. I saw a project which does just that, but cannot find it now ;( Michael. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
