set-property element in Struts

[jose chiramal]

What is the use of set-property element . It is supported by most all of the elements
that define Struts entities such as form-bean, action-mapping, action,
and plug-in.

Hi,

For form beans it is used for DynaActionForm's properties.

It lets you set whatever arbitrary properties are supported by the underlying element.

You know you can just look at the source code, right?

I cam across this :All set-property elements for a given plug-in will be processed prior to calling theplug-in’s init( ) method. This allows the plug-in to use the value of the properties in
the init( ) method.


Any example of this ?
