Re: Configuration capabilities

Hello again,

thanks for your reply. I think you are right, it should work because the
"rest" works fine too.
i'm using struts 2 and using spring to create the action objects and inject
them with dependecys.
i will follow this and when i have comeup with a solution or solved it i
will let you know why it didnt worked.
thanks again for your support.

greets 

kukudas
