I have a need to override a bean that is present in the struts default configuration. Specifically: org.apache.struts2.components.template.TemplateEngineManager
However, it appears that the default configuration loader does not allow for this to be overwritten. As a result, I get the following error during deployment: Caused by: Unable to load bean: type:org.apache.struts2.components.template.TemplateEngineManager class:com.premierinc.sca.actions.util.ScaTemplateEngineManager - bean - vfsfile:/C:/jboss5/server/sca-app/deploy/scaEar.ear/webapp.war/WEB-INF/classes/struts.xml:40:71 at com.opensymphony.xwork2.config.providers.XmlConfigurationProvider.register(XmlConfigurationProvider.java:221) at org.apache.struts2.config.StrutsXmlConfigurationProvider.register(StrutsXmlConfigurationProvider.java:101) at com.opensymphony.xwork2.config.impl.DefaultConfiguration.reloadContainer(DefaultConfiguration.java:169) at com.opensymphony.xwork2.config.ConfigurationManager.getConfiguration(ConfigurationManager.java:55) I would like to be able to specify my own configuration loader (specifically override the class: org.apache.struts2.config.StrutsXmlConfigurationProvider). I thought that this would just be a matter of utilizing the struts.properties setting (http://struts.apache.org/2.1.8.1/docs/strutsproperties.html): ### Specifies the Configuration used to configure Struts ### one could extend org.apache.struts2.config.Configuration ### to build one's customize way of getting the configurations parameters into Struts # struts.configuration=org.apache.struts2.config.DefaultConfiguration However, it does not appear to be working as I thought. Now I am not sure what this setting does at all. The class specified in the help (org.apache.struts2.config.Configuration) does not even exist. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
