Re: Struts 2 URL parameters lost - final status

[rakeshxp <ra...@gmail.com>]

I am using Struts 2.0.6 and the jar contains struts struts-default.xml which
contains the following property 
<bean type="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.ActionMapper" name="struts"
class="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.DefaultActionMapper" />
    <bean type="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.ActionMapper"
name="composite"
class="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.CompositeActionMapper" />
    <bean type="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.ActionMapper"
name="restful"
class="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.RestfulActionMapper" />
    <bean type="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.ActionMapper"
name="restful2"
class="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.Restful2ActionMapper" />
    
We have a struts.xml in WEB-INF/classes folder and I was trying to override
the default actionmapper by having the following lines in my struts.xml (
just for testing I am overriding with the default class itself )
<bean type="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.ActionMapper" name="struts"
class="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.DefaultActionMapper" />

But this results in an error when I started up tomcat
Unable to load bean: type:org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.ActionMapper
class:org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.DefaultActionMapper - bean -
file:/C:/software/tomcat6/webapps/abc/WEB-INF/classes/struts.xml:17:149

Caused by: Bean type interface
org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.ActionMapper with the name struts has
already been loaded by [unknown location] - bean -
file:/C:/software/tomcat6/webapps/abc/WEB-INF/classes/struts.xml:17:149

So the question that I have are 
1) How do I override the mapping class ?
2) Why are there 4 bean declaration for actionmapper ? 

thanks in advance!
