What I usually do is place the login functionality (and all common/general functionalities for that matter) in the default struts-config at the root context.
Now if I have a more specific module or section in my app, i create a sub-context so that all action mappings for that particular submodule are on the same subcontext and struts-config file. An example is a user management module where you CRUD users for your app. Regards, -Yves- On Thu, 16 Sep 2004 10:36:21 +0100, Ricardo Gladwell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > Perhaps I'm misunderstandig the use of modules: I have a default module > that handles basic webapp functionality (homepage forwarding, layout, > etc) and other modules handle additional functionality such as user > management (log in/out, registration, details modifications, etc) henc > the need to forward actions from the default layer to the user login layer. > > Is this the correct approach, or should I stick to putting it all into > one web application? > > > > Yves Sy wrote: > > I would guess its because its not really standard practice to submit a > > form to a handler from another module.
