The core configuration file for the framework is the default (struts.xml) file.

  • The default file may include other configuration files as needed.
  • An additional struts.xml files can be placed in any package on the classpath, so that modules can be self-contained and automatically configured.
    • In the case of Freemarker and Velocity modules, the templates can also be loaded from the classpath, so the entire module can be plugged in as a single JAR.
  • See Struts Configuration Elements for a description of the various elements.
