Dynamically altering struts configuration
Hi all,
Let say I have a line like this one in my struts-config.xml:
<form-bean name="fooForm" type="net.ambre.epingles.struts.form.fooForm" />
Can I change dynamically the type associated to fooForm ?
Thanks
Benjamin

Well, you have two solutions to get an ModuleConfig object.
You can get it in a struct actions, using
getServletContext().getAttribute(Globals.MODULE_KEY), or in any place
that can get the ServletContext, or (the way I choose), you can inherit
from ActionServlet, and overload initModuleConfig.

I found out. With a ModuleConfig object you can retrieve the ActionForm
mappings and modify it.

I want to be able to define an external module that plugs in an
existing struts application. This module must define a .jsp file and a
form to get some data without the existing struts application knowing
what are those datas (so to be able to change the module without
changing the application). That's the reason I need to be able to change
the actionForm mapping dynamically.

I don't actually know.
But why would you want to? Perhaps looking at a custom request processor
and implementing processActionForm might be a possible solution?
