struts-config broken in multiple files

[Just Fun 4 You <ju...@nexgo.de>]

Hello

I am using Struts 1.1 and tried to separate my struts-config.xml into
several entities as it is described by James Holmes (see below). However it
does not work because the "entity xml files" are not found, though they are
in the same directory as struts-config.xml. After tracing I found out, that
these files are looked up in the tomcat\bin folder rather in the web-inf
directory of the webapp. So how can I make this work without setting
absolute paths?!

thx,
Dirk

An alternative to this would be to take advantage of Struts' support 
for defining a list of struts-config files in web.xml.

<init-param>
   <param-name>config</param-name>
     <param-value>
       /WEB-INF/form_beans.xml,
       /WEB-INF/forwards.xml,
       /WEB-INF/actions.xml,
     </param-value>
  </init-param>
