Yes you're right - the warning comment implies you can configure it for the
controller - this comment should have been removed. You could do this in
Struts 1.0 - i.e. set a "forward" parameter in the web.xml to configure the
Forward implementation to use - but this behaviour was removed in Struts 1.1
(see revision 1.83 of ActionServlet) although comments at the start of
ActionServlet indicate that they are just deprecated.
Sorry when I read your original message I didn't realize theat using the
global-forwards type="..." mechanism in the struts-config didn't suit your
needs and you wanted to do it for the whole Struts app.
There is still a way to do it, but its not quite as straight forward as it
was. Haven't actually done this myself but I believe if you create your own
custom ModuleConfigFactory you can then set the default ForwardConfig class
for every ModuleConfig when they are created.
public class MyModuleConfigFactory extends DefaultModuleConfigFactory {
public ModuleConfig createModuleConfig(String prefix) {
ModuleConfig config = super.createModuleConfig(prefix);
config.setActionForwardClass("myPackage.MyForwardConfig");
return config;
}
}
Then in the web.xml you can configure struts to use your custom factory
<servlet>
<init-param><param-name>configFactory</param-name>
<param-value>myPackage.MyModuleConfigFactory</param-value>
</init-param>
If you try this can you post back whether it worked or not.
