[S2 Tip] Within a namespace, reuse names for common concepts

[Ted Husted <hu...@apache.org>]

In practice, most applications are composed of a small number of
workflows that repeat within the application. When configuration
elements in different namespaces serve the same role, use the same
identifier for each element. If each namespace includes a "Menu" or  a
"Help" action, use those same names with each namespace.

 <package name="receivables" namespace="/receivables">
    <action name="Menu" class="receivables.Menu" >
      <result>/receivables/Menu.jsp</result>
   </action>
  <!-- ... -->
 </package>
 <package name="payables" namespace="/payables">
    <action name="Menu" class="payables.Menu" >
       <result>/payables/Menu.jsp</result>
    </action>
  <!-- ... -->
 </package>

Since the namespace feature avoids collisions between element names,
we can increase cohesion within the application by using a consistent
naming pattern.

HTH, Ted.
