You can set webwork.configuration.xml.reload=true
In your webwork.properties to tell it to check and automatically reload XML configuration files (this includes the xwork.xml file and any other included xwork configuration files, validation.xml files, and type conversion .properties files right now). As far as being able to have the one Xwork.jar and have multiple configurations, that's a good idea... Please add a Jira issue. I've always hated that Singleton, so we can look at how to get rid of it. In the meantime, is it possible to have the one xwork.jar file and have Jboss load it individually in the classloader of each web app (instead of just once in the server classloader)? Also, any hints on how Struts implements this? I know how I'd like to implement it (refactor all of our internal pieces into IoC components instead of having singletons for each other to look up), but this would be a major undertaking.
