James, How much different is Common Resources from Common Configuration? In essence, a property file is really just a list of configuration pairs.

Struts will soon be changing (1.3.something) the internal mechanism from MessageResources/PropertyMessageResources (and factory) to commons-resources. That's why I wrote 3 implementations for commons-resources: HibernateResources IBatisResources JDBCResources (not in CVS yet) http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/struts/commons-resources-optional/ These are not released (because commons-resources has not been released, but it is out of the sandbox, which is a good thing), but I will publish and announce the extensions when it get's the 1.0 stamp of approval. > Al Thanks. -- James Mitchell Software Engineer / Open Source Evangelist Consulting / Mentoring / Freelance EdgeTech, Inc. 678.910.8017 AIM: jmitchtx Yahoo: jmitchtx MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Notice: This e-mail message, together with any attachments, contains information of Merck & Co., Inc.
