Re: Multiple struts-config.xml

I would caution anyone about using Modules. It is not for the beginner. Working with Struts Modules can be extremely confusing to the novice Struts developer. I think a better solution is to suggest that they use multi config, but make sure they use a common pattern between multiple config xml files.

So, in struts-config-client.xml, all mappings would be like <action path="/Client/Foo" ...
And in struts-config-employee.xml, all mapping would be like <action path="Employee/Bar" ...
And for commonly shared things like login or whatever, you could have a struts-config-common.xml with <action path="/Common/Baz"

The same style of naming would apply for other entries, like action forms, global forward, and the rest.

Hi

A better way is to use struts modules. Every Module has its own struts-configuration. If you use more than one struts configuration such as described below, you may have problems with duplicate identifiers, becaus struts builds one configuration out of all files. This problems you don't have using modules. Modules acts as a namespace in this case.

Hi
I have an application and I need to create many web flows. If I use struts
to model the web flows, is it possible to use many struts-config.xml instead
of one?
Regards,
Néstor Boscán
