Work on WW-2576 stopped by Piero Sartini.
> Possibility to reduce classpath scanning to a parent-package
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: WW-2576
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2576
> Project: Struts 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Plugin - Convention
> Affects Versions: 2.1.3
> Reporter: Piero Sartini
> Assignee: Piero Sartini
> Fix For: 2.2.x
>
> Attachments: struts2-convention-packageLocatorBase.patch

>
> Right now, there is a constant named "struts.convention.exclude.packages"
> I had to add "oracle.toplink.*" in order to get the plugin working.
> It would be nice to have the possibility to configure a top level package
> (my.project.** ) that will be scanned instead of excluding everything else.
> After looking at the source I came to the conclusion that the convention
> plugin is designed to exclude a whole bunch of packages from classpath
> scanning. For my feeling that is not the best way to go because you can never
> be sure what is on your classpath. Worst case the application stops working
> because the admin adds some jars to the classpath of the appserver, the ear
> is extended with some lib or whatever. In an enterprise environment this
> behaviour is IMHO a no-no.
> Anyway, I do understand that there are usecases where this approach is needed.
> To solve this, I thought about an option like "scanPath" that defaults
> to "**" (or "^(.*)$") In my case, I would set it to something
> like "com.project.**" or "^com\.myproject\.(.*)$"
