[PATCH] Allow Multiple Config Files
This is a patch for ActionServlet to allow for multiple config files. With this patch you can specify a comma separated list of config files in web.xml like this:
<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>
/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/struts-config2.xml,
/WEB-INF/struts-config3.xml
</param-value>
</init-param>
This patch is backwards compatible so that existing
"config" <init-param> entries in web.xml will still work.• Struts 1.0 Patch
• Struts 1.0.1 Patch
• Struts 1.0.2 Patch
Breaking Struts Config Files Into Multiple Files
When working with Struts in a team environment, it may be advantageous to break the config file up into multiple smaller files. Breaking the file up allows separate sections of the file to be maintained individually. Below is an example of how to break up a config file.
NOTE: This strategy is NOT supported by Struts Console.
