[S2 Tip] Use namespaces to organize your application into logical modules
Many Struts applications contain hundreds of pages. To help organize large applications, the Struts configuration is designed around the notions of packages and namespaces. Each package can set its own defaults, including a namespace setting. struts package name=example namespace=/example extends=struts-default action name=HelloWorld class=example.HelloWorld result/example/HelloWorld.jsp/result /action !-- Add actions here -- /package /struts Use the namespace attribute to create logical modules or units of work within an application, each with its own identifying prefix. In an accounting application, the actions relating to payables might be in one namespace, and actions relating to receivables in another. Namespaces avoid conflicts between action names. Each namespace can have it's own menu or help action, each with its own implementation. While the prefix appears in the browser URI, the tags are namespace aware, so the namespace prefix does not need to be embedded in forms and links. -HTH, Ted http://www.husted.com/ted/blog/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ted, Thank you so much for sending this out. I was wandering what was the difference between namespace and package. I guess this explain well.

Re: [S2 Tip] Use namespaces to organize your application into logical modules
Thank you Ted, like Harring I also wondered what namespaces are all about and decided they arent that important to me - however, already tried to make action names like foo/bar. Now I consider namespaces very useful. Maybe this should be included in the wiki somewhere. (Tips Tricks Corner?) I would love to see more such posts :-) Piero - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
