I have to disagree with you here.

They aren't different purposes... you're just referencing them in different places?

The scope is simply broader when referencing at a higher level.

I thought the whole point of packages was to use inheritance ie. anything defined at the package level was available within actions but also could be overridden within the actions as well and so therefore I don't look at interceptor-ref has having a different purpose. I see the default-interceptor-ref as an additional element that's unnecessary. As I was reading the JOSP book it was unclear to me what default-interceptor-ref was having already mentioned packages and seeing how interceptor-ref works. I believe that anybody who understands the concept of inheritance can appreciate that default-interceptor-ref is unnecessary.

I understand what you're saying. I'm explaining why it's designed this
way.  The DTD is designed to be simple yet easy to understand, and it's
too confusing and error-prone to have the interceptor-ref used for
multiple different purposes.

I don't think you're understanding me.


If I put an interceptor-ref outside of an action at the package level
why isn't
that the same as setting a default?

Actions.

But doesn't the fact that I've even referencing something
at package
level do that?

and if I don't want what I referenced at package level then I'll
override it in my action.

Umm.. So you realize you're setting the default for every
action in
the package?

Why is there a distinction made b/w how to you reference a interceptor stack within a package and stack or action reference?

Why for instance is it "default-interceptor-ref" instead of
interceptor-ref.

If you define an interceptor-ref for the package isn't that
implicitly the default for all actions in the package?

Why is there this "default-interceptor-ref?"
