struts 2 tutorial and maven question

[Cecilia Castillo <ca...@llnl.gov>]

Hi!  I am new to struts, maven etc.  I am trying to follow the 
bootstrap tutorial for struts 2.  I used the Maven Archetype to 
create a new application for the tutorial and everything worked fine except...

- when I create the Login-validation.xml in my src/main/java/tutorial 
directory (where Login.java is), then use use maven to build a war 
file, it will not pick up the Login-validation.xml file and put it in 
the target/classes/tutorial directory.

However, if I move the Login-validation.xml file to 
src/main/resources/tutorial...then maven does pick up the 
Login-validation.xml file and put it in the target/classes/tutorial directory.

Can someone tell me

* where are we supposed to keep the xxx-validation.xml files?

* if they are supposed to be in the same directory as the java action 
classes, then what do I need to do to the default pom.xml file to 
make maven pick up these files and put them in the appropriate 
classes subdirectory?

Thanks,
  Cecilia

Hi,

    In your pom.xml, under the resource tag, you need to add the 
resource directory "**/*.xml".
    Hence your resource tags should have the following:

        <resources>
            <resource>
                <directory>${basedir}/src/main/resources</directory>
                <includes>
                    <include>**/*.*</include>
                </includes>
            </resource>
            <resource>
                <directory>${basedir}/src/main/java</directory>
                <includes>
                    <include>**/*.properties</include>
                    <include>**/*.xml</include>
                </includes>
            </resource>
        </resources>

Cheers,
