Fixed, so now Struts has struts.xml with its own DTD

Re: [jira] Resolved: (WW-1376) Struts configuration files should be named struts.xml, not xwork.xml

Posted by Don Brown <mr...@twdata.org>.
As I understand it, our goal is to shield our users from having to know 
about XWork, and that would include its DTD.  Allowing XWork details to 
leak through makes it confusing to find documentation, know where to 
submit tickets, and ask for help.

The downside is maintaining the DTD, which is essentially the XWork 1.1 
DTD in Struts, however this file is small and shouldn't be a problem. 
Also, it should be noted that we are still able to recognize and process 
historical xwork.xml files.

Question on this and the overall philosophy that is the goal for Struts 2. Why is it necessary to have a struts dtd rather than simply use the xwork dtd and then simply add the feature that allows the name to be changed from xwork.xml to struts.xml? 

Is the goal still to keep XWork functionality out of Struts 2 or has it been resolved to create an abstraction layer around XWork so Struts 2 users don't use XWork directly at all?

Thanks,
Gabe
