xwork.xml

xwork.xml xwork.xml

At this point, it's time to prepare the xwork configuration file, xwork.xml. Create an empty file named xwork.xml in the root of the 'src' folder. In this file we put:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE xwork PUBLIC
    "-//OpenSymphony Group//XWork 1.0//EN"
    "http://www.opensymphony.com/xwork/xwork-1.0.dtd">
<xwork>
	<include file="webwork-default.xml" />

	<package name="view" extends="webwork-portlet-default"
		namespace="/view">
		<action name="index"
			class="com.opensymphony.xwork.ActionSupport">
			<result name="success">/WEB-INF/pages/view/helloWorld.jsp</result>
		</action>
	</package>
</xwork>

Some important things to notice are that we create a package with namespace view, and our package extends the webwork-portlet-default package. The webwork-portlet-default package contains some special result types needed to run WebWork/XWork in a portlet container.

JBoss Portal descriptors

On of these descriptor files is named according to the name of the context root of our application, which in this case is the name of the exported war file itself. We will later create a war file named MyPortlet.war, so the name of the JBoss descriptor becomes 'MyPortlet-object.xml'. So we create this file in the WEB-INF folder, and insert the following text:
