Not a lot. Mostly what's in the Javadocs and on the Struts Dev list.
Contributions welcome.

Re: Multiple war files

[Ted Husted]

Generally, WARs represent different applications, or contexts. The
struts-config is written to access various JSPs within the same
application, and so the URIs are context-relative (or WAR-relative).
Using JSP's between applications would be problematic, since they cannot
share data in the servlet contexts.

You might want to take a look at the new modular application support in
the nightly build (which is rapidly approach Struts 1.1 beta 1). This
would let you break a Struts application into individual modules, or
sub-applications, each with its own struts-config and set of JSPs.

Using struts across multiple .war files

[Steve Earl]

Hi all,

I noticed from the struts site that a nightly build (from about mid-Jan
onwards) has included the facility to have developers working on different
areas of a project building different .war files each with it's own
struts-config.xml.

Does anyone have any more docco on this - I've checked the site but there
doesn't seem to be much else. I've just hit this very problem so I figure I
need a nightly build (better not tell the client!)..

regards,
steve

Multiple war files

[Jitesh Vidhani]

Hi,

I am working on this Enterprise application where we have to split the whole
UI into multiple .war and .jar files. The .jar files shall contain all the
Action and Form beans and the .war file shall contain all the JSPs and the
respective struts-config.xml, web.xml files.

I can see how to split the jar files so that I can arrange the Action and
Form beans seperately. But I somehow cant seem to find a way to arrange the
JSPs into different war files.

I am using jsp templates all across the product and some of the components
like the header, buttons, template page etc shall be common throughout. So
my question is, can a struts-config file in a given war file access JSPs in
another war file. I guess one way to do that by prepending a "../" to the jsp so that the Server knows where to look for that JSP.

All I wanna know if this is possible and if there is any cleaner way of
doing this. How does one usually organize the whole UI into multiple units
so that some units can share some resources like templates and headers so
that they dont have to be duplicated in each war file.

Thanks.
-Jitesh
