Struts 2 Convention

[Neil Muya]

Hi , I'm new here in java ranch ,hope you guys can help me.

My team will be developing a struts 2 spring + hibernate using struts 2 mvc. Just wanna ask if there is a tutorial for struts 2 coding convention.

Like is it better to use annotation than xml? or using struts.xml as configuration rather than using zero configuration.

Hope you pro's can help me.

Thanks!

The things you mentioned are a matter of preference.

Maybe I was just confused about a concept i heard , that annotations are better than xml.

Because I see validation annotations being used this days instead of validation xml.

And I see examples of using the include element in struts.xml to lessen the code.

hmm maybe I was hoping for a struts 2 conventions that would make the code more readable.

Anyway maybe it really depends on the preference.

Thanks for answering dave , maybe I should experiment on both xml and annotation as well as zero configuration to see what is more readable and maintainable .
