Multiple struts-config.xml

Hi
 
I have an application and I need to create many web flows. If I use struts
to model the web flows, is it possible to use many struts-config.xml instead
of one?
 
Regards,

Hi N�stor Bosc�n,

    You can use multiple struts-config.xml files.

    for that you have modify web.xml file

    steps

    1. in  ActionServlet init params u can pass all the struts-config.xml 
file(s) as a values.



    <servlet>
                  <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>

                  <servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>

                         <init-param>
                               <param-name>config/main</param-name>
                               <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config-main.xml</param-value>
                          </init-param>

                         <init-param>
                               <param-name>config/admin</param-name>
                               <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config-admin.xml</param-value>
                          </init-param>

                         <init-param>
                               <param-name>config/manager</param-name>
                               <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config-manager.xml</param-value>
                          </init-param>
   </servlet>

like this u can configure use multiple struts-config.xml files.


rgds,
sridhar

Exactly what I was going to say James, I started to use modules, but
switched to multiple configs as it was becoming a nightmare. All my actions
in each config share a pattern like James suggested.

I would caution anyone about using Modules.  It is not for the beginner. 
Working with Struts Modules can be extremely confusing to the novice Struts 
developer.  I think a better solution is to suggest that they use multi 
config, but make sure they use a common pattern between multiple config xml 
files.

So, in struts-config-client.xml, all mappings would be like <action 
path="/Client/Foo" ...
And in struts-config-employee.xml, all mapping would be like <action 
path="Employee/Bar" ...
And for commonly shared things like login or whatever, you could have a 
struts-config-common.xml with <action path="/Common/Baz"

The same style of naming would apply for other entries, like action forms, 
global forward, and the rest.

RE: Multiple struts-config.xml

Posted by Folashade Adeyosoye <sh...@gmail.com>.
I don’t see how you would have problems with names, if you have unique form
names, you would also have unique attribute names. Even thou you have the
same attributes:


>From the example below, one can have a form attribute called id in each
struts-config.

This method had been used on a system that is live now, with no problem.

Hi

A better way is to use struts modules. Every Module has its own 
struts-configuration. If you use more than one struts configuration such 
as described below, you  may have problems with duplicate identifiers, 
becaus struts builds one configuration out of all files. This problems 
you don't have using modules. Modules acts as a namespace in this case.

Hi

A better way is to use struts modules. Every Module has its own 
struts-configuration. If you use more than one struts configuration such 
as described below, you  may have problems with duplicate identifiers, 
becaus struts builds one configuration out of all files. This problems 
you don't have using modules. Modules acts as a namespace in this case.

Yes, in your web.xml


Change this...

  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>AppName</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.path.to.the.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>config</param-name>
      <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>

To 


  <servlet>
    <servlet-name> AppName </servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.path.to.the.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>config</param-name>
