I'm not sure I follow you.  In a base class of what?  If I understand 
the recent changes to commons-chain, where there is a single 
CatalogFactory per classloader, then there's nothing incompatible 
with having the ActionServlet initialize one or more catalogs meant 
for use with Struts and still having other things initialize catalogs 
for their own use.

It's clean, but it still has 41 classes.  It's not a big deal to me, 
but especially since half those classes are in either the "servlet" 
or "legacy" packages, and thus theoretically not destined for a long 
life in Struts, I wondered if we would want to handle it in some 
other way than importing them all into the core.  Also, I have a hint 
of an idea that it would be cool to be able to have a JAR with a 
chain config in it that was kind of self-configuring (something like 
what Don has recently enabled for other config files), and I wanted 
to see if that resonated with anyone else.

Yeah, 2 ways to init, of course.
