When I'm going though struts2, I came through a typical question. The question is that can I change the name of struts.xml file to some other thing and make it work?

    I don't know if you can, but I also don't see why you'd want or need to. – Anthony Grist Apr 11 '14 at 14:20
  • @AnthonyGrist Just want to know whether that is possible or not as in hibernate. That's it. – Shiva Mothkuri Apr 13 '14 at 14:54

You can do that using your web.xml

<filter>
    <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>config</param-name>
        <param-value>my-new-struts-config-file.xml,struts-plugin.xml,struts.xml</param-value>
    </init-param>
</filter>

Also, if you use the struts.properties you can do something like:

struts.configuration.files=my-new-struts-config-file.xml,struts-plugin.xml,struts.xml

  • I tried adding your code to web.xml.But, it isn't working. INFO: Parsing configuration file [struts.xml] Apr 13, 2014 8:14:41 PM com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.logging.commons.CommonsLogger error SEVERE: Dispatcher initialization failed – Shiva Mothkuri Apr 13 '14 at 14:46
  • What did you use on the param-value? did you try using only the one file you are going to use?... also did you modify the properties file? – Garis M Suero Apr 14 '14 at 15:49

You cannot change the name of struts.xml. You can, however, break up the Struts configuration among several configuration files which are named in strtus.xml.
