Hi,

We have a system with multiple sub applications which can be installed in any 
combination on the users system depending on the product he has bought. These 
apps are aware of each other and need to enable certain features in themselves 
only if the another application is available.

Example: two sub apps, appA & appB. appA displays a page with some detail and 
knows that appB is installed, so needs to provide a link or form into an action 
inside appB.

Currently the form and link tags only look inside the current sub application 
to resolve ActionMappings. We need this extended to incorporate a method of 
getting these from any sub app.

For the time being I am going to extend by own version of these tags, and in 
the ActionMapping search will check the start of the mapping name for "//". if 
so it assumes the action name looks like "//subapplication/mapping" and finds 
the stuff accordingly

And BTW, there is no version in here yet for 1.1 Beta! :-)

regards
Ian Tomey
