[ http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/STR-2858?page=comments#action_37272 ]
Don Brown commented on STR-2858: -------------------------------- I disagree, as I don't think 80% of struts users should know or care about chain. I think Struts should be moving in the direction of more intelligent defaults and conventions, rather than requiring more configuration. In fact, I'd like to see it possible to not require a struts-config.xml at all, instead defaulting to a wildcarded config file covering most basic patterns. That isn't quite possible today, but it could be in the near future once we get 1.3.3 out. > chain-config.xml file should be explicitly referenced from web.xml file > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: STR-2858 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/STR-2858 > Project: Struts Action 1 > Type: Improvement > Components: Apps > Versions: 1.3.2 > Reporter: Michael Jouravlev > Priority: Trivial > > I suggest that all Struts 1.3.x samples explicitly use external > chain-config.xml file instead of using the one buried in the classpath at > org/apache/struts/chain/chain-config.xml. As a consequence, all samples > should explicitly refer to chain-config.xml file from web.xml. > I believe that this will allow to better undertand the inner workings of > chain, and to decrease amount of "magic". -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/struts/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
