RE: Split web.xml into multiple files

Hi,

We are using the container managed security and we have lot of action
mapping and roles. Specifying them in one web.xml making it too huge. We
want it to split into separate logical files

AFAIK the web.xml cannot be split.  Most containers, however, do utilize

a container-specific web app deployment descriptor that works with the 
web.xml.  The web.xml for a Struts-based application should be 
relatively small and should not need to be frequently modified.  Why do 
you want/need to split the web.xml?

If your container is reasonably intelligent about parsing XML documents 
using entities that refer to files in the same directory, this should be 
no problem using XML entities for this sort of thing.  Check the Struts 
documentation, Wiki, and mailing list archives for discussions of 
dividing up a struts-config.xml file -- exactly the same techniques will 
generally work for web.xml as well.

On the other hand, it makes a *lot* more sense to me to create a build 
environment that dynamically combines all the stuff you need into a 
single web.xml file, to be included in the deployable WAR file, as part 
of the build process.
