7 developers... working in one location or distributed? if it's local: I do not think it's already a critical size, because the edits on the struts-config.xml should not be SO frequent that it becomes a problem. EG. when you meet for a coffee in the morning all it takes are 30 seconds to check who needs to make changes "today"... and then coordinate them.
If it's distributed: You'll have the same problems with other files as well... And then CVS usually is quite clever at handling such edits. I think that conflicting edits will happen VERY rarely. The struts modules might be another way to split the whole app into smaller parts. hth Alexander -----Original Message----- From: Laran Evans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2004 7:59 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: xdoclet and struts forms I hear what you're saying. However, I work in a team of 7 developers. If each developer can make changes to the struts-config.xml file we'll have 7 people working on the same file at the same time. If we generate the struts-config.xml file with XDoclet we will all in fact be working on separate files, with the struts-config.xml file being generated consistently, with changes integrated as they're committed to CVS. I think it's a tradeoff.

I'm yet to see how xdoclet helps in a Struts environment. > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
