Thanks, both of you, I'll go the XML entities route if that's all that's available.

I think XML entities would do what he wants. What you do is, at the top of your struts-config.xml file, you define the entities you want to include: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.1//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd"; [ <!ENTITY actionMappings SYSTEM "/path/to/actionMappings.xml"> <!ENTITY formBeans SYSTEM "/path/to/formBeans.xml"> ]> Then, at each place you want to use the entity in your file, you include it as an entity using &entityName; (so for the above example: &actionMappings; and &formBeans;) So to include action mappings in your struts config that you have defined in another file, you would do: <action-mappings> <!-- hard coded action mapping, just for this app --> <action parameter=".view.checkoutPage" path="/checkoutPage" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"/> <!-- include common action mappings --> &actionMappings; </action-mappings> In struts-config, the entity paths can be relative to your struts-config.xml file (usually /WEB-INF/), or hard coded paths to somewhere else on the file system. If you want to use entities in tiles-defs.xml or validation.xml, they must be hard coded paths (for now...I'm investigating this in my free time!!).
