Common static content that is needed by webwork the framework (JavaScript and CSS files, etc.) is server served automatically by the FilterDispatcher filter. Any request starting with "/webworkaction/" denotes that static content is required, and then mapping the value after "/webworkaction/" to common packages in WebWork Struts Action 2 and, optionally in your the applciation's class path.

By default, the following packages are searched:

• comorg.apache.opensymphonystruts.webworkaction2.static
• template

Additional packages can be specified by providing a comma seperated list to the configuration parameter named "packages" (configured in web.xml for the FilterDispatcher filter). When specifying additional static content, you should be careful not to expose sensitive configuration information (i.e. database password).
