XML include hack to split struts-config.xml

[Renaud Waldura <re...@waldura.org>]

I found out about the XML include hack that can be used to split the
struts-config.xml in more manageable portions:

http://jakarta.apache.org:8080/jyve-faq/Turbine/screen/DisplayQuestionAnswer
/action/SetAll/project_id/2/faq_id/16/topic_id/196/question_id/752

It's been mentioned many times before on this list, but I'm having a hell of
a time getting to work, especially with relative paths. Is anyone doing this
in the context of WAR deployment?

My current declaration is like this:

<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC
    "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.0//EN"
    "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_0.dtd"
    [
       <!ENTITY downloadClientActions SYSTEM
            "file:./WEB-INF/config/struts/actions-downloadClient.xml">
    ]
>

But it chokes with a I/O error. Using an absolute path in the "file:" URI
makes it work, but this is highly undesirable. I've tried every combination
I could think of, no luck.

Struts-config is fed to the ActionServlet with:

  <init-param>
   <param-name>config</param-name>
   <param-value>/WEB-INF/config/struts/struts-config.xml</param-value>
  </init-param>

Any clues?

I've never gotten it to work either, but I would love to hear a solution
myself.

I know what is "suppossed" to happen, but I haven't seen anyone concretely
give
their example of doing it.
