I think the trouble is you want are specifying the action but not its matching class, in which case it uses the default class which can not be changed.
I'm suggesting that you don't have the action in the xml file and have it use the default action for which you had specified the class. <action name="Default" class="package.base"> Inside base.execute() you examine the URL and set the role. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
