splitting struts-config into multiple files
We have many apps that require the same global forwards. Rather than
copy this info into the config file for each app, we'd like to be able
to place it in a struts-config file that lives somewhere on the
filesystem outside WEB-INF, and then specify that as one of the config
files to use. I know it's possible to split struts-config, but is there
some way that one of the config files can reside outside the app?
Thanks,
jim

Yes, that certainly sounds possible, but what I'd rather do, if it's
possible, is to reference a "global forwards" config file at run time
which resides externally of any app.
So my question is, "Are runtime config files that reside outside the
application context supported?" Perhaps a symbolic link from WEB-INF...
Or maybe they could reside in a "static war"?

You can take advantage of xdoclet merging capabilities.
You would have your action mapping in struts-actions.xml, your global-
forwards in global-forwards.xml, your form beans inside struts-forms.
xml ... and xdoclet would merge the files for you.

May be Ant task can help in your environment.
