I am using Struts 2.0.6 and the jar contains struts struts-default.xml which contains the following property <bean type="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.ActionMapper" name="struts" class="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.DefaultActionMapper" /> <bean type="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.ActionMapper" name="composite" class="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.CompositeActionMapper" /> <bean type="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.ActionMapper" name="restful" class="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.RestfulActionMapper" /> <bean type="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.ActionMapper" name="restful2" class="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.Restful2ActionMapper" /> We have a struts.xml in WEB-INF/classes folder and I was trying to override the default actionmapper by having the following lines in my struts.xml ( just for testing I am overriding with the default class itself ) <bean type="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.ActionMapper" name="struts" class="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.DefaultActionMapper" />
But this results in an error when I started up tomcat Unable to load bean: type:org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.ActionMapper class:org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.DefaultActionMapper - bean - file:/C:/software/tomcat6/webapps/abc/WEB-INF/classes/struts.xml:17:149 Caused by: Bean type interface org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.ActionMapper with the name struts has already been loaded by [unknown location] - bean - file:/C:/software/tomcat6/webapps/abc/WEB-INF/classes/struts.xml:17:149 So the question that I have are 1) How do I override the mapping class ? 2) Why are there 4 bean declaration for actionmapper ? thanks in advance!
