Type Conversion Guide doesn't describe where to put Class Name specific
property files
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WW-2613
URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2613
Project: Struts 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 2.0.11.1
Reporter: Steve Akins
Priority: Minor
In the Type Conversion Guide page
(http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/type-conversion.html) it doesn't make it
clear where to put a Class specific property file.
It looks like what is there is a copy of the javadocs from
com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.XWorkConverter.
This is what's on the XWork Wiki
(http://www.opensymphony.com/xwork/wikidocs/XWork%20Conversion.html) :
To create an action-level conversion, create a file called
'ActionClassName-conversion.properties' in the same location at the classpath
where the Action class itself resides. Eg. if the action class name is
MyAction, the action-level convertion properties file should be named
'MyAction-conversion.properties'.
This is a little better but I would make it clearer by adding something like
this:
Eg. If the Action class is 'com.myapp.actions.MyAction' then the action-level
conversion properties file should be named 'MyAction-conversion.properties' and
put in com/myapp/actions.
This would help new people struggling to make sense of where all the various
configuration files should go.
I hope that this is the right forum to post documentation suggestions. If not,
happy to post elsewhere.
