roger, thanks for the steps. i went through each of those steps and made sure my settings/configurations complied. however, i still cannot initialize Action classes using Spring.
as an illustration of the problem i am facing, i have created an example that you may download and verify for yourself that this does not work. http://www.box.net/shared/iycamr9uo6 this will download a zip file with an Eclipse project; unzip it. if you have Ant, you simply type in "ant war" and the war file will be created. if you have Tomcat, then drop the war file into the webapps directory (assuming you have Tomcat 6.0). if you go to http://localhost:8080/myapp/, you will see four lines displayed. String from Action: default boolean from Action: false String from Service: overwritten boolean from Service: true The first and second lines confirm that the String and boolean values are not injected into the Action class. The third and fourth lines confirm that the String and boolean values are injected into the service class. thanks.
