[OT] Re: ActionForm implementing Map

[Dakota Jack <da...@gmail.com>]

Ted,

Sigh!  LOL  ;-)

I have added the following thought to my signature (below): "You can
lead a horse to water but you cannot make it float on its back".  LOL

I just want to say that I picked on Vic because he generally thinks
out-of-the-box, has a sense of humor, actually reads non-committer
questions through before answering, etc.  I also have really enjoyed
your book and your submissions to the list.  Thanks.  You both are a
credit to this community.

I have taken this issue to bugzilla in beanutils on PropertyUtils
instead of to struts on the request processor, where it really
belongs.  See some minor notes below.  Thanks, again.

Jack

I am not coming with a user issue.  I am working on a thing I have
called JerichoState.

Doesn't work because the design of beanutils and request processor is
faulty.  I am fully cognizant of this particular problem area in
design issues, previous submissions, and so on, perhaps more so,
according to recent evidence, than the committers.

I am going to ask a question on the user list about changing the
request processor logic?  That is going to get a predictable response,
wouldn't you think?  LOL

The correct analogy, then, would not be a court of appeals but a
commanding officer.  ;-)  In a court of appeals, you get to have your
briefs read and you have time to speak too.  But, as I said, "sigh".
