HI;
I am starting to play with chains and commands in 1.3.5 and I was
wondering where I initialize the my custom chains ?
I don't want to mess with the request processor, just add a few command
chains of my own.
...
Do I need to extract the chain-config.xml from the struts-core.jar and
include it in my WEB-INF along with my custom-chain-config.xml
or is struts smart enough to configure itself without me extracting it
and then create my custom catalog?
Yes, Struts will find its default Chain config file inside the jar.
Even if you did need to specify it, you would not need to extract it
from the jar.
For example, you can use the provided chain config for Tiles (in an
init param for the Action servlet):
<init-param>
<param-name>chainConfig</param-name>
<param-value>org/apache/struts/tiles/chain-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
and it will be loaded from the struts-tiles.jar.
Your context param and ChainListener should work fine.
I think (but have not verified) that you can also use the chainConfig
init param for ActionServlet to load your own catalogs. If you do
that, you'll probably have to specify the default file in addition to
your own files. The path to the default file should be
'org/apache/struts/chain/chain-config.xml'.
