Managing Struts Elements

IntelliJ IDEA 12.1.0 Web Help

Some features described here are available in Ultimate edition only.

The structure of a Struts application including numerous Struts elements and the interaction between them is defined in the Struts configuration file struts-config.xml. The Struts configuration file is created automatically when you enable Struts support for a module.

With IntelliJ IDEA, you can edit the struts-config.xml in the Struts Assistant tool window, which provides three synchronized views: the Structure Tree, the Properties Table, and the Struts Web Flow Diagram.

To define the structure of a Struts application, create and edit the necessary Struts elements and specify interaction among them using the Struts Assistant tool window, tab Struts. This dedicated tool window provides three synchronized views:

the Structure Tree to add, edit, and remove Struts elements.
