What is struts-default package and what are it’s benefits?

Question

Facing some issue, while we use wildfly-deploy maven plugin to deploy strut2 application to wildfly aka jboss 7, struts2 is unable to read package.properties file packaged inside .war. If i deploy from an IDE or manually then there is no issue.

The only difference is wildfly-deploy plugin is deploying application war inside {WILDFLY_HOME}/standalone/data/ folder where as manual or IDE will deploy it under {WILDFLY_HOME}/standalone/deployments/ folder.

In essence struts2 unable to read package.properties file if deployed under certain location.

Any thoughts, application is working perfectly except label's are not coming only label key is coming in screens.

Answer 1

struts-default is an abstract package that defines all the Struts2 interceptors and commonly used interceptor stack. It is advisable to extend this package while configuring our application package to avoid configuring interceptors again. This is provided to help developers by eliminating the trivial task of configuring interceptor and result pages in our application.
