Hi Gary, I would suggest download the following free chapter from my book - Struts Survival Guide. Go to http://www.objectsource.com and find the link there to download Chapter 4. It tells you how to setup and use modules.
Hope that helps, Srikanth Shenoy Author Struts Survival Guide: Basics to Best Practices <http://www.objectsource.com/strutsbook.html> J2EE Project Survival Guide <http://www.theserverside.com/books/review/J2EESurvivalGuide.tss> "Damm, Gary" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... I've successfully used Struts for several applications and have been very happy with it. I am getting ready to use it for a larger project and would like to use modules but I'm having some problems. It appears that when I attempt to switch from the default module to a new module (module1) it never actually recognizes the new module. When I attempt to go to a page in the new module that references an action that is defined in the new module action mappings I consistently get the following error. I have looked through the documentation and browsed the list archive and still can not figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any help appreciated. Also, if anyone knows a good book that documents modules well I'd like to know (Struts In Action and Jakarta Struts have little information on modules). The error: ...
