Description
Servlet 3.0 specification includes the possibility for libraries to ship web-fragment.xml files in their META-INF directory to contribute some declarations to the main web.xml file.
Struts 2 only requires the declaration of a filter in the web.xml file to work. When building Servlet 3.0 webapp, the web.xml file is often not used at all.
It would be nice to ship a web-fragment.xml file in struts 2 that declares the PrepareAndExecute filter to simplify the use of the framework on a servlet 3.0 stack.
