sorry for poping this again. Any thoughts on this? :)

I'd prefer the first approach, declare the xwork related beans in xwork-default.xml, since xwork-default.xml already have interceptors etc that are duplicated in struts-default.xml. Thoughts? rgds tm jee wrote: I see. What about duplicating those beans in xwork-default.xml, it is still going to be in struts-default.xml as well. Just such that those who use xwork standalone could do // the will load xwork-default.xml and all the beans required during injection configurationManager.addConfigurationProvider(new XmlConfigurationProvider(xwork-default.xml)); // this will load xwork.xml where custom beans, action, interceptor etc resides configurationManager.addConfigurationProvider(new XmlConfigurationProvider()); This is such that xwork standalone user does need to add those bean manually in their xwork.xml which would need understnading of xwork code base. Thoughts? rgds Don Brown wrote: I thought about that, however, there are two advantages to keeping everything in struts-default.xml: 1. Default implementations for extension points can be named "struts" universally. Otherwise, we'd have to allow two, xwork and struts, or choose a third option. 2. Easier for a new developer to see how struts configures itself. Since we publicize the struts-default, struts-plugin, struts.xml load order, it is less confusing to not have the additional hidden xwork-default.xml I'm open to changing this if there are other good options on the table.
