Well, first, what version of Struts 2 are you using? My guess is you
are using Struts 2.0.0, which contained a bug where the configuration
would be reloaded multiple times in a request. As for your question
why various struts files are loaded, that is how the new plugin system
works. First, struts-default.xml, in the Struts jar, is loaded.
Then, all struts-plugin.xml files are loaded from the plugin jars.
Finally, struts.xml is loaded for your application.

I was working on a custom interceptor that would use the init() method to
configure itself. After some analysis I realized that the init() method was
being called multiple times per action invocation. So, I made a very simple
interceptor to test to make sure I wasn¹t crazy about this.
package net.vitarara.quadran.core.web.menu;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionInvocation;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.interceptor.Interceptor;
public class TestInterceptor implements Interceptor {
public static int initCount = 0;
public void destroy () { }
public void init () {
System.err.println ("BEGIN: TestInterceptor.init()");
TestInterceptor.initCount = TestInterceptor.initCount + 1;
System.err.println ("TestInterceptor.initCount = " +
TestInterceptor.initCount);
System.err.println ("TestInterceptor = " + this.toString () );
System.err.println ("END: TestInterceptor.init()");
}
public String intercept (ActionInvocation invocation) throws Exception {
System.err.println ("BEGIN: TestInterceptor.intercept()");
String result = invocation.invoke ();
System.err.println ("END: TestInterceptor.intercept()");
return result;
}
}
Here is the struts.xml portion defining the interceptor and the stack:
<interceptors>
<interceptor name="qmenu" class="qMenuInterceptor" />
<interceptor name="testInterceptor"
class="net.vitarara.quadran.core.web.menu.TestInterceptor" />
<interceptor-stack name="defaultStack">
<interceptor-ref name="servlet-config" />
<interceptor-ref name="params" />
<interceptor-ref name="prepare" />
<interceptor-ref name="chain" />
<interceptor-ref name="model-driven" />
<!-- <interceptor-ref name="component" /> -->
<interceptor-ref name="fileUpload" />
<interceptor-ref name="static-params" />
<interceptor-ref name="params" />
<interceptor-ref name="conversionError" />
<interceptor-ref name="validation" />
<interceptor-ref name="workflow" />
<!-- <interceptor-ref name="qmenu" /> -->
<interceptor-ref name="testInterceptor" />
</interceptor-stack>
</interceptors>

The ! marks are in the actions execute() method.
Looking at this log output I have a few questions:
1. It looks to me that the TestInterceptor is being instantiated multiple
times. Why?
2. Why is are the various struts xml files being parsed multiple times for a
single action invocation?
Thanks,
Mark
