Well, could u then let me know how to modularize my struts config in case it grows large. How do I modularize my struts web app without having separate struts modules. I am working on a web project where there are three types of users:Admin, Web User and Call Center User. Under each of these there are several screens/modules. Currently we are maintaining only one struts config and tiles def file and their sizes are becoming a issue. Also I would like to use separate application resources properties files for different user types. Could u give me suggestions on how to overcome these issues?
Still I would like to have an answer to my original question, if possible. As I have already told that I have been able to do module switching, but still I haven't been able to use a separate tiles definition file for the second module. If u could help me out at this, I will be thankful to you. Being able to use a separate tiles def file for the second module (having a struts config file of its own) will do for me. pbenedict wrote: > > Have you considered removing the use of modules?
