Answer / rajasekhar

Yes, it is necessary to provide the configuration file. But
it is not compulsary that the name of the file should be
struts-config.xml. We need to configure the name of the
file in the deployment descreptor(web.xml) of the web
application.

<servlet>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet </servlet-
class>
<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-
value>
</init-param>.....
<servlet>

Important tag in the configuration files are:
<struts-config>
<form-beans>
<form-bean name=" employForm" class="com.emp.EmployForm"/>
</form-beans>
<global-forwards>
<forward name="success" path="success.jsp" />
</global-forwards>
<global-exceptions>
<excetption key="some.key" type="ExceptionType"
path="SomeException.jsp" />
</global-exception>
<action-mappings>
<action path="/login" name="employForm"
type="com.emp.EmployAction" scope="request\session"
input="/login.jsp" validate="true/false" >
<forward name="success" path="/Mainpage.jsp" />
<forward name="failure" path="/Errorpage.sp" />
</action>
</action-mappings>
<controller
processorClass="org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor"/>
<message-resource parameter="applicationResources" />
</struts-config>

<!-- ========================= Tiles plugin
===============================-->
<!--
This plugin initialize Tiles definition factory. This
later can takes some
parameters explained here after. The plugin first read
parameters from
web.xml, thenoverload them with parameters defined
here. All parameters
are optional.
The plugin should be declared in each struts-config
file.
- definitions-config: (optional)
Specify configuration file names. There can be several
comma
separated file names (default: ?? )
- moduleAware: (optional - struts1.1)
Specify if the Tiles definition factory is module
aware. If true
(default), there will be one factory for each Struts
module.
If false, there will be one common factory for all
module. In this
later case, it is still needed to declare one plugin
per module.
The factory will be initialized with parameters found
in the first
initialized plugin (generally the one associated with
the default
module).
true : One factory per module. (default)
false : one single shared factory for all modules
- definitions-parser-validate: (optional)
Specify if xml parser should validate the Tiles
configuration file.
true : validate. DTD should be specified in file header
(default)
false : no validation

Paths found in Tiles definitions are relative to the
main context.

<set-property property="definitions-config"
value="/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml" />
<set-property property="moduleAware" value="true" />

<set-property
property="pathnames"
