Multiple-application module is the new feature for Struts 1.1. The benefit of using multiple application modules is the better organization of the web application development.

I could not find very completed guide to setup the multiple configurations, resource bundles and good examples. I spent some time to make an example based on an open source example. I think it includes most part of this feature. Just put the whole directory into webapps directory (in Tomcat) and can be executed by http://localhost:8080/multimods/

In my example,
(1) I create three modules. In practical, you do not have to use default one.

In web.xml file, three Struts configuration files are declared.

<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>

<init-param>
<param-name>config/mod1</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config-mod1.xml</param-value>
</init-param>

<init-param>
<param-name>config/mod2</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config-mod2.xml</param-value>
</init-param>

The struts-config.xml is default configuration. The parameter name for other module should begins with “config/”. The struts-config-mod1.xml and struts-config-mod2.xml are two configuration files for mod1 and mod2.

(2) Check each struts configuration file, your will see each one has its own form bean and message resource bundle. So the JSP can access its bean and resource under scope of its own module.

(3) Shows how to switch between two modules
