James, What I normally do is create a "package" and set the defaults that I want stuff to use (interceptors / interceptor stack / etc.). Then, I just tell the convention plugin to use the package I configured....
The list of properties that the plugin uses is here - http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/convention-plugin.html#ConventionPlugin-Configurationreference I think the setting is - struts.convention.default.parent.package -Wes On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 9:39 AM, James Cook <james.c...@wecomm.com> wrote: > That would be my favoured route. > > Wes, side question.
