My ... in the second line needs to be replaced by the usual public and
system identifiers -- I pushed SEND before I went back and looked them up
in the docs :-(

Craig, or anyone,
Has anyone actually gotten the below xml inclusion mechanism to
work using struts and tomcat 3.2.1? I searched other
messages about this in the archives and none of the authors
were successful. I always get a parse error like:

Parse Fatal Error at line 5 column -1: Relative URI forms.xml; can not be

Our application is getting large and I would dearly like to use
this idea to split up the config file
thanks,

Subject: Re: ActionServlet.addMapping() persistence
There's an XML trick that lets you do this without needing to modify
Struts. Consider that you've got a struts-config.xml file divided into
three parts (form-beans.xml, global-forwards.xml, and
action-mappings.xml) stored in the /WEB-INF directory. They can be
combined automatically by doing something like this in
struts-config.xml:
?xml version=1.0?
!DOCTYPE ... [
!ENTITY part1 SYSTEM form-beans.xml
!ENTITY part2 SYSTEM global-forwards.xml
!ENTITY part3 SYSTEM action-mappings.xml
]
struts-config
form-beans
part1;
/form-beans
global-forwards
part2;
/global-forwards
action-mappings
part3;
/action-mappings
/struts-config
Obviously, you can extend this concept to any reasonable separation of
struts-config.xml into subordinate files.
I suppose I could update struts-config.xml and then tell the
ActionServlet
to reread it in the Action I talked about in the first
paragraph...I'd like
to be able to seperate this out, if possible, to make the seperate
components of my webapplication seperate. The problem with
putting this all
into individual webapps is that I want the session to be passed
from one
part of the webapp to the next.
The other approach would be to keep the individual pieces of
struts-config.xml in separate files in your source repository, and use the
Unix cat tool (or the DOS copy tool using plus signs) to concatenate
the pieces together as you deploy the web app.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
