[jira] Commented: (WW-1491) Zero XML action configuration

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

Don Brown commented on WW-1491:
-------------------------------

The inspiration of this capability comes from Stripes, as they have a nifty classloader scanning tool that looks for interface implementations and annotations to determine what actions should be available.  Also, Patrick's Able built onto WebWork a similar capability, but without the classloader scanning.  I think we should learn from both implementations and bring a simpler development model to Struts 2.  However, this feature should work along side conventional XML configuration and not be required.

> Struts 2 should have the ability to configure actions, packages, and namespaces through conventions and a few annotations.  This means that no XML is required by the developer to create a fully-featured application.
