We could define them on the actions, but since we use lists like the
list of States and Provinces, Gender List and a bunch of others all
over the place, I didn't want to have to define them everywhere.
So we created a BaseAction that defines all those lists, but now that
list is growing and theres a bunch of useless methods on every action.
I was looking for something more dynamic, and I was hoping the
<sarcasm>great and powerful OGNL</sarcasm> could help out.
I guess I'll try to write a static utility method that I can call with
the @ syntax to return a map of data and see how that flies. Thanks
for the input.
