A popular strategy is "divide and conquer". The framework lets you apply "divide and conquer" to configuration files using the <include .../>
element.
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN" "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd"> <struts> <include file="Home.xml"/> <include file="Hello.xml"/> <include file="Simple.xml"/> <include file="/util/POJO.xml"/> <include file="/com/initech/admin/admin-struts.xml"/> </struts>
Each included file must be in the same format as struts.xml
, including the DOCTYPE
. The include files can be placed anywhere on the classpath and should be referred to by that path by the "file" attribute.
In a large-team environment, the include files can be used to organize different modules of the application that are being developed by different team members.
