If they remember, don't get in a hurry or otherwise do something human. Why not do something like private static blah execute(blah) throws Exception { criticalSetupstuff; continueExecute(blah); } protected blah continueExecute(bladh) throws Exception { whatever the execute should do. } That way you can gurantee that anyone inheriting from this action will get the crttical setup stuff. > > -- > Frank W.
