Re[2]: [PATCH] Allow Multiple Config Files

[Oleg V Alexeev <go...@penza.net>]

Hello James,

I think it can be useful. But 'last wins' politic must include some
configuration issues to block or signal about repeated name. It can be
flag in ActionServlet config -
  1. to pass repeted names
  2. pass and signal to log or System.err
  3. block repeated names.
