Programming Jakarta Struts, 2nd Edition [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

3.6 Multiple Application Support

Prior to Version 1.1, each Struts application was limited to a single
configuration file. The single instance of the file, normally called
struts-config.xml, was
specified in the web application deployment descriptor. It was the
sole provider of the configuration information for the Struts
application. The fact that there was only one place to put
configuration information made it very difficult for larger projects,
because it often became a bottleneck and caused contentions to use
and modify this file.

With the advent of multi-application support in Version
1.1, this problem has been alleviated. You now can define
multiple
configuration files, allowing developers to work better in parallel.
Applications modules, as they currently are known, are discussed
further in Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6, and Chapter 7.
