Customize the Web application configuration

To customize the configuration of the WCS instance, edit the WebSphere Commerce Struts custom configuration files, struts-config-ext.xml, which are included in each of the WebSphere Commerce Web modules. Confining customization to these files, in place of struts-config.xml, will ensure that your customizations are not overwritten during subsequent migration, fix pack installation, and other similar activities.

The initial struts-config-ext.xml files supplied with WebSphere Commerce have no Struts resources defined and are templates ready to be populated. For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC 
          "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration
1.1//EN" 
         
"http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd"> 
<struts-config> 
      
<!-- Data Sources -->       
<data-sources>       
</data-sources> 
      
<!-- Form Beans -->       
<!-- Global Exceptions -->       
<global-exceptions>       
</global-exceptions>        
      
<!-- Global Forwards -->       
<global-forwards>       
</global-forwards>        
      
<!-- Action Mappings -->       
<action-mappings
type="com.ibm.commerce.struts.ECActionMapping">         
      
</action-mappings>        
</struts-config>

All configuration elements that you define in the struts-config-ext.xml files will supersede those defined in the primary Struts configuration files, struts-config.xml.
