I think Michael's implicit question is more about "does this really have to be so redundant" -- not only does it take up a lot of real-estate, but it's repetitive, and repetition is always something better handled by software than people.

As has been discussed on this thread, I think that the wildcard path mapping support added since Struts 1.1 should probably work for this. I haven't used it a lot, but this seems to be exactly the use case for that feature.

Subject: Simplifying struts-config.xml


 Is there a way to do the following using less real-estate in
 struts-config.xml?  If not, there should be:



      <action
        path='/admin_help'
        type='com.crackwillow.struts.action.ForwardAction'
        parameter='admin_help'/>

      <action
        path='/language_help'
        type='com.crackwillow.struts.action.ForwardAction'
        parameter='language_help'/>

      <action
        path='/main_help'
        type='com.crackwillow.struts.action.ForwardAction'
        parameter='main_help'/>

      <action
        path='/admin_webmaster_help'
        type='com.crackwillow.struts.action.ForwardAction'
        parameter='admin_webmaster_help'/>

      <action
        path='/admin_host_help'
        type='com.crackwillow.struts.action.ForwardAction'
        parameter='admin_host_help'/>

      <action
        path='/logon_webmaster_help'
        type='com.crackwillow.struts.action.ForwardAction'
        parameter='logon_webmaster_help'/>

      <action
        path='/logon_host_help'
        type='com.crackwillow.struts.action.ForwardAction'
        parameter='logon_host_help'/>

      <action
        path='/logon_guest_help'
        type='com.crackwillow.struts.action.ForwardAction'
        parameter='logon_guest_help'/>


      <action
        path='/register_help'
        type='com.crackwillow.struts.action.ForwardAction'
        parameter='register_help'/>

      <action
        path='/remind_me_help'
        type='com.crackwillow.struts.action.ForwardAction'
        parameter='remind_me_help'/>
