Customizing the Web application configuration
To customize the configuration of your WebSphere Commerce instance, edit the WebSphere Commerce Struts custom configuration files, struts-config-ext.xml, which are included in each of the WebSphere Commerce Web modules. Confining customization to these files, in place of struts-config.xml, will ensure that your customizations are not overwritten during subsequent migration, fix pack installation, and other similar activities.
About this task
The initial struts-config-ext.xml files supplied with WebSphere Commerce have no Struts resources defined and are templates ready to be populated. For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration
1.1//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd">
<struts-config>
<!-- Data Sources -->
<data-sources>
</data-sources>
<!-- Form Beans -->
<!-- Global Exceptions -->
<global-exceptions>
</global-exceptions>
<!-- Global Forwards -->
<global-forwards>
</global-forwards>
<!-- Action Mappings -->
<action-mappings
type="com.ibm.commerce.struts.ECActionMapping">
</action-mappings>
</struts-config>
Note: All configuration elements that you define in the struts-config-ext.xml files will supersede
those defined in the primary Struts configuration files, struts-config.xml.
