Quite right. I misread the original post. Sorry about that. Obviously, that would be a worthwhile feature. There was also a patch pending regarding using forwards in the html:form. Did we decide anything about that? http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7202 On one hand it stretches the use of the ActionForward quite a bit. On the other hand, it would allow all the references to be "logical" rather than to any type of URI. Might also be handy if we implement "smart forwards" later. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY US -- Java Web Development with Struts -- Tel: +1 585 737-3463 -- Web: http://husted.com/about/services -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:
