It might seem a bit extreme for simple values, but I use Spring. If configured correctly, it will be mostly non-intrusive, then getting values for can be as simple as adding a setter to your action/interceptor/result. Then, in the long-run, you also get the benefit of having Spring's libraries (for when you decide to integrate JPA, AOP or whatever is cool that week). -Wes -- Wes Wannemacher Author - Struts 2 In Practice Includes coverage of Struts 2.1, Spring, JPA, JQuery, Sitemesh and more http://www.manning.com/wannemacher --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org
