What I would like to do is to custimize installations of a struts-based web application, in a way that isn't overwritten when a new version of the webapp's .war file is installed.
Is it possible to do something like this for a struts application? - deliver the application as a .war file - customize the application by putting JSP files with the same names as the files inside the .war file into a directory that is scanned before the directory of the .war Ie. have a search path for the JSPs? Other ideas I have considered, are: - Change <forward> elements in the struts-config.xml file to point to the locally customized JSPs. This is difficult because the struts-config.xml resides inside of the .war file. I'm also not sure if it is possible to point outside of the webapp? - Run a cronjob (or something) to patch the unpacked webapp by overwriting distributed JSPs with locally customized versions. This feels like a hack/last resort - Replace the class that reads the struts-config.xml file with a class that reads its config data from a database Is there some obvious approach I have overlooked?
