jsp location when using modules
Hello, We are currently refactoring our Web applications into one
application using Struts modules so that we can share common resources
more easily between the different modules.
Now to the problem, we are currently placing all our jsps in
/WEB-INF/pages/ but when introducing modules I get 404 for this action:
<action path="/test" forward="/WEB-INF/pages/test/error.jsp" />
Tomcat searches /test/WEB-INF/pages/test/error.jsp
I've read that this behaviour can be overwritten with:
<controller
processorClass="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesRequestProcessor"
pagePattern="/WEB-INF/pages/$M$P" />
But no result.
How can this be solved? do I have to place content for each module in
/modulename/...
and what does this do to content that we wish to share, for example tile
definitions that are now in /WEB-INF/tiles/ ?

Hello again,
The main reason I wanted to use WEB-INF at first was to protect jsp/xml
but this would lead to module contents i two places, static content
(images etc) in /modulename and pages in WEB-INF/pages/modulename.
After trying some things I have decided, for now, to place each module
with all it contents in /modulename and use a filter to protect jsp,
xml:s etc from direct access. It feels good to place all resources for a
module in one place...
What do you guys think of this approach?

I haven't done this before, but try this:
1. Use the forwardPattern attribute of <controller> and give it the
same value you're giving pagePattern now.
2. Set up a custom ForwardAction. The existing ForwardAction sets
contextRelative which skips the use of forwardPattern. For your
custom version, copy the code in the existing ForwardAction except
don't set contextRelative to true.
3. Change your mappings to:
<action path="/test" type="your.ForwardAction" parameter="error.jsp"/>
It should resolve to /WEB-INF/pages/test/error.jsp where
forwardPattern="/WEB-INF/pages/$M$P" and the module name is "test".
Looking at TilesRequestProcessor.processTilesDefinition(), it doesn't
look like it prefixes the uri with module names, nor does it use
controller.forwardPattern, so if I read it right, it will use the uri
you set in your tile definitions.
