Hmm, did you ask this question last week? Or did someone else ask almost the exact same thing?

Application scope is application scope: if you add something to the application scope then anything else that has a reference to the application scope has access to what you added. Good luck synchronizing that. > Que2.

All the interceptor does is check if an action implements an *Aware interface and, if it does, sets the appropriate map by calling the matching setter method. > Que3.

No. That would take longer, be more convoluted, and require more configuration. > Que4. Is it better to implement the "Awareness" of one or more of the > scope in an interceptor ?

I'm not even sure what you mean by that; what good would having the values in the interceptor do for your action? d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
