No, in our case it's mostly to make the code manageable. We're putting code into separate packages and separate JSP directories, but it's all going to be part of the same application in the end. And avoiding modules wold be nice if possible.
Preston >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/11/2005 2:02:48 PM >>> Some people prefer to stay away from modules (I have a vague memory of at least one Struts committer saying they generally try to avoid them for example). One option that Craig turned me on to (and I hope I'm remembering this right!) is using entities to import XML into another. If the only real purpose of using modules is to better organize your multiple struts-config files and tiles-defs, this might be a good answer. <!ENTITY struts_config_2 SYSTEM "config_files/struts_config_2.xml"> ... &struts_config_2; That, more or less, functions as an import, as I recall (someone PLEASE correct me if I got the syntax, or the concept of course, wrong). Of course, if you have another purpose for modules, like if you have a desktop CRM application that has a number of largely independent sub-components (I picked this example because we're discussing this very thing right now), then they might be a good fit. -- Frank W.
