[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-370?page=comments#action_12450806 ]
Si Chen commented on OFBIZ-370:
-------------------------------
This is actually a good idea, and I will take a look at Peter's code and give you my feedback.
Peter--do you have some samples of usage or syntax?

> Key: OFBIZ-370
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-370
> Project: OFBiz (The Open for Business Project)
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: framework
> Affects Versions: SVN trunk
> Environment: Linux, java-sun-1.5
> Reporter: Peter Goron
> Assigned To: Si Chen
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: site-conf-include.patch

> Controller.xml files become bigger and bigger and are complex to read. That made a long time I was looking for a way to split these files and I finally digged into ofbiz code to see how it can be implemented.
> What a surprise to see that this feature is already present in Ofbiz but is not activated !
> You can test to insert <include file="another-controller.xml"/> in an existing controller.xml. You should see a validation error because include element is not declared in xsd but it does not prevent inclusion mechanism to run.
> However there is good chance you also obtain an exception report because it doesn't find the file you try to include. To be consistent with other places in ofbiz, I've slightly modified inclusion mechanism to use FlexibleResolver (see attached patch, ex: <include location="component://component/webapp/component/WEB-INF/another-controller.xml"/>)
> I hope you will be as enthousiast as me about this feature. I think it opens nice perspectives :
> - the possibility to share common request-map & view-map (login, logout, setLocale, Lookups, etc)
> - the possibility to split a big controller.xml by functional subdomain (like for servicedef)
> Peter
> PS: I'm not sure if it's related to OFBIZ-77 issue
