Hello,
Well, I agree with u, but it depends on how u generate
The struts-config and other config files..
U can still write ur own action-mapping file and make xdoclet
Merge it (I m doing it for action-forms for example)...
I m doing it coz I m lazy and I prefer that someone else
Generates configuration files for me..
If u (like me) hate changing code for changing a simple
Parameter, as I said u may want to look at merge facilities
Of XDoclet.
My 2 cents
Regards
marco

I don't see what advantage using XDoclet with Struts is? If someone can
show me how it helps I'd love to see it. On this one project I
inherited, it uses XDoclet with Struts and it makes things worse. For
example, I like having a nice config file that I can modify
(strut-config), yet with XDoclet, the struts config action mappings are
generated by action mapping definitions defined at the top of the actual
Action opbjects. That makes no sense to me. Now in order to change a
return value, you have to modify source code versus just modifying a
config file. I can see the benefit for XDoclet in other projects (ie EJB
code generation) but for Struts I still haven't found where it helps,
but I'm willing to be enlightened:)
