This is something I had mentioned a while back that I wanted to support: - xwork.xml is the actions themselves (GenericDispatcher uses them). - xwork-web.xml is an (optional) file that ServletDispatcher can utilize to set up more rigid settings relating only to web-based settings (URL path restrictions, for example).
This idea doesn't jive with what is in CVS completely though, since there are servlet views defined in xwork.xml, but there is no place to restrict paths. So it's a question of, "how much in xwork, how much in xwork-web?" -Pat ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rickard Öberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, January 04, 2003 6:04 AM Subject: Re: [OS-webwork] Re: Action invocation > Jason Carreira wrote: > > Creating an extra interceptor to re-create J2EE declarative security > > is at least some extra machinery compared to just using what is > > there.
