Interestingly enough, we do the exact same thing in our project (many .xml files), and currently we use a perl script to merge the XML files (boo!). However, I've been writing an Ant task that merges XML files into a single file to replace the perl...but it's not finished (doh!). Most of the code is written, however--I just haven't had time to work out the kinks yet. It's configurable to flat include the top-level (children of the root) elements from each source file in the output file, or to merge the contents of top-level elements with the same name into single Elements (w/ the same name) in the output file. You can set the DocType and such as well via task attributes.
I'll probably have this tested and complete in a week or so, if you're interested. I plan to add more options as I think of them. I'm not sure about the use of XML include references, but good luck if you go that route. :) regards, Joe Barefoot -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 9:08 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Struts config, can it have includes? Is it possible to have a struts-config.xml file that simply does nothing more than include other xml-files which contain all the form-bean and action tags? Or does everything have to be slam-dunked into the main struts-config.xml. Reason I ask is that we have 3 developers here developing a struts application. Each one of us needs to create about 40-60 actions or so. It would be easier to have many different .xml files that each of us can own that are simply included into the main struts-config.xml file. We're early into the development project and someone will always have that file checked out. thanks, Theron -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
