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.

"as your build process copies them to the right place on the classpath. I

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

I agree. 100 was an exaggerated number, just to make a point of what I am
looking for.
