Description

My struts.xml has something like this:

<include file="struts/*.xml" />

which works fine when the war is exploded and the files are under WEB-INF\classes

but I build the application (war) with maven2 and I do package classes in a jar file.

When Tomcat starts (tried with Tomcat 5 and Tomcat 7) only the main struts.xml (which is inside the jar) is loaded but not the ones inside struts/*.xml

Am I doing something wrong? I looked for other options like <include file="classpath:..." /> but doesnt work

Documentation says you can split the file and put into other jars but only with the name struts.xml. I do need multple files in a jar.

Please advise.
