Using The Convention Plugin

The Convention plugin will discover actions in bundles in the same way that it discovers them in normal applications. The Convention plugin expects result templates to be (by default) to be stored under /WEB-INF/content. When packaging actions inside bundles, there won't be a WEB-INF folder, so you must let Convention know where the templates are located. There are two ways of doing so(assuming the templates are under content):

1. Set the templates location constant in struts.xml (in the application struts.xml, not a bundled struts.xml)

<constant name="struts.convention.result.path" value="/content/"/>

2. Using the ResultPath annotation

@ResultPath("/content")
public class HelloWorldAction extends ActionSupport
...
}
