Hey Paul or anyone else, Could you elaborate on Paul's Berlin Wall comment. We have just started using modules, but haven't come across anything like this yet. Thanks Brian

I've been doing Struts for like 2-3 years now, and Struts Modules I loved for awhile but now I absolutely can't stand them.... First off, my initial appeal to modules was to split up the configuration files so different developers can work on the project without people waiting for check-outs. That sounds like a good deal, but Modules are MORE than splitting up configuration files - they are these Berlin Walls kind of construction where forms and actions can't be shared across them .... unless you want to define them in multiple config files. See, after all these years, I really wanted was to split files up. Modules don't gain me anything, do they? I know (or I think) when Craig wrote Struts 0.x, he had an action.xml which did something similar.... Now I could create file of just actions and use XML ENTITIES to include them, but I never see people doing that solution. Is it not well-known or frown upon? So I am kind of sick of Struts modules. More so, now that I have to declare my Struts global exception handler in every config file!! This gets ridiculous after 5 modules... and forget about it if you have a project with 50 modules. Too much configuration duplication. __________________________________ Yahoo! Music Unlimited Access over 1 million songs.
