Maven, Struts2 Annotations and Tiles Integration Example via Convention / Codebhind / Zero Config plugin using Eclipse IDE
smhu...@gmail.com
In this example, I will demonstrate how you can use Struts2 Annotations and Conventions alone to avoid XML Configuration. I will also integrate Struts2 Tiles Plugin, because I?ve seen a number of people struggling when it comes to Tiles integration with Struts2 Annotation and Convention based projects. Do note that Struts2 Convention Plugin has replaced the older Codebehind plugin and Zero Config Plugin.
