Struts2: How to put validation.xml and Action.java in separate
folders
For Struts 2:
Does anyone know if it is possible to put the validation.xml for an Action
in a folder other than where the action resides? If I have a 100 java
classes in my action package, I would like their *-validation.xmls to be in
a separate folder such that all .java's are together and all .xml's are
together. I couldn't find any configuration in struts2 to achieve this.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

"as your build process copies them to the right place on the classpath. I
don't think there's a way to have them in a different folder than the .class
files though"
I don't really have a formal build process for now. So what's in my
/WEB-INF/src folder is going to be in my /WEB-INF/classes folder with the
.class files instead of the .java files. So yes, I do want to be able to
have .xml and .class files (not just .java files) in separate folders; my
bad on that one, I should have been more explicit.
"Sounds like you'd be better off breaking out your actions into sub-packages
anyway."
I agree. 100 was an exaggerated number, just to make a point of what I am
looking for.

You can put the .xml files in a separate folder from the .java files,
sure, as long as your build process copies them to the right place on
the classpath. I don't think there's a way to have them in a different
folder than the .class files though. Sounds like you'd be better off
breaking out your actions into sub-packages anyway.
