Exactly what I was going to say James, I started to use modules, but switched to multiple configs as it was becoming a nightmare. All my actions in each config share a pattern like James suggested.

It is not for the beginner. Working with Struts Modules can be extremely confusing to the novice Struts developer. I think a better solution is to suggest that they use multi config, but make sure they use a common pattern between multiple config xml files. So, in struts-config-client.xml, all mappings would be like <action path="/Client/Foo" ... And in struts-config-employee.xml, all mapping would be like <action path="Employee/Bar" ... And for commonly shared things like login or whatever, you could have a struts-config-common.xml with <action path="/Common/Baz" The same style of naming would apply for other entries, like action forms, global forward, and the rest. -- James Mitchell Software Engineer / Open Source Evangelist Consulting / Mentoring / Freelance EdgeTech, Inc. 678.910.8017 AIM: jmitchtx Yahoo: jmitchtx MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Manfred Wolff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <user@struts.apache.org> Sent: Monday, April 11, 2005 2:48 AM Subject: Re: Multiple struts-config.xml > > Hi > > A better way is to use struts modules.
