I'm not sure that this is correct. One of the standard classes shipped with Struts is AddMappingAction:
public class AddMappingAction extends Action A standard Action that calls the addMapping() method of our controller servlet to add a new action mapping definition dynamically. The new definition replaces any existing definition for the same name. This action expects request parameters whose names match the properties of ActionMapping. This says to me that you can use a "skeleton" struts-config.xml file and add all your action-mappings "manually" at runtime if you so desire. Someone correct me if this is wrong. peace, Joe > -----Original Message----- > From: Christopher Seekamp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 3:36 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: Re: Dynamic configuration? > > > > > > > > > > > Kevin: > > I think the answer is basically no.
