[jira] Commented: (STR-2858) chain-config.xml file should be explicitly referenced from web.xml file

["Don Brown (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/STR-2858?page=comments#action_37272 ] 

Don Brown commented on STR-2858:
--------------------------------

I disagree, as I don't think 80% of struts users should know or care about chain.  I think Struts should be moving in the direction of more intelligent defaults and conventions, rather than requiring more configuration. In fact, I'd like to see it possible to not require a struts-config.xml at all, instead defaulting to a wildcarded config file covering most basic patterns.  That isn't quite possible today, but it could be in the near future once we get 1.3.3 out.

> I suggest that all Struts 1.3.x samples explicitly use external chain-config.xml file instead of using the one buried in the classpath at org/apache/struts/chain/chain-config.xml. As a consequence, all samples should explicitly refer to chain-config.xml file from web.xml.
> I believe that this will allow to better undertand the inner workings of chain, and to decrease amount of "magic".
