You say you have multiple struts-config.xml files, how are you doing this? Do you have multiple instances of struts servlets running on a machine? Are they on different machines?

Hi,
we have multiple modules for each module we have one strut-config.xml, and we mention each one seperately in web.xml. all the related code for these module's Front end code is on one machine

Chaining actions in this manner is typically a bad design.

However, calling an action from another action and configuring the mapping for this in the configuration file is a relatively easy step. The fact that you have multiple configuration files does not have any effect on the process.

Note, the configuration files are only read once when the application is deployed. Once the application has been deployed, there is a set of Java objects that contain the configuration information. In MVC terminology, these objects are part of the "Controller."
