struts2-convention-plugin

My current project structure is as follows WebContent WEB-INF View TestPage.jsp other JSP pages... My assignment is to put all JSP pages inside folder WEB-INF and do all relative changes in the project. WebContent WEB-INF View TestPage.jsp other JSP pages... So I have to update all result tag in struts.xml <result name="success">/View/TestPage.jsp</result> to <result name="success">/WEB_INF/View/TestPage.jsp</result> After search on web I found a plugin - struts convention plugin to achieve this, But it follows its Naming convention. Can I override Struts convention plugin configuration (that

I have a custom Interceptor, from which I throw an Exception; The Action(s) running that Interceptor is managed by Convention plugin; The Exception raised by the Interceptor is globally defined in struts.xml for the package the Action is running into. RESULT: the exception mapping is ignored and I get the Struts Problem Report Struts has detected an unhandled exception: ... Stacktraces java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: my message I guess I'm just missing something stupid... we've already discussed of this in a similar question , but it's still not clear if it can or can't work this way:

When using Struts2 convention plugin, the plugin automatically forwards a hello-world.action request to /WEB-INF/content/hello-world.jsp even if no HelloWorld.java is defined. Please see http://struts.apache.org/release/2.1.x/docs/convention-plugin.html for that. On the other hand, we put JSP files under WEB-INF to avoid any direct access to JSP files. I think this behavior of convention plugin ruins JSP access policy. Any one can make a direct access to a JSP by simply calling a, build on the fly, action. Am I correct?! If yes, can we disable this feature? Roman C No, you are not quite

I tried with this <constant name="struts.convention.action.suffix" value="Controller" /> <constant name="struts.convention.package.locators.basePackage" value="fi.fpf.mvc" /> and this <constant name="struts.convention.action.suffix" value="Controller" /> <constant name="struts.convention.package.locators.basePackage" value="fi.fpf.mvc.*" /> but they don't work. my actions end with "Controller" suffix. Someone knows how to do it? here's my struts.xml : <struts> <constant name="struts.convention.exclude

I am converting my existing struts 2 application to serve through some rest based services also. I have used two plugins, struts2-rest plugin and struts-convention plugin, Along with these I have also used asm.jar because above was giving a class not found exception which was there in asm jar. I want to have both the functionalities as ..my normal struts action mappings should also work along with rest urls. struts.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN" "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd">

I'm trying to use the struts2-convention-plugin which provides java annotations to define struts2 components. With Actions so far so good but how can i use annotations to define interceptors ? (i'm talking of @InterceptorRefs or @InterceptorRef ). Is this even possible ? At the moment i've configured actions with annotations and interceptors with the struts.xml file. Is it possible to completely eliminate the struts.xml file and use a 100% annotation oriented configuration ?
