Manage Struts 2 elements

Struts 2 elements like actions, results, and interceptors as well as interaction between them is defined in the <package> section of the struts.xml configuration file. The file is created automatically when you enable Struts 2 support for a module.

IntelliJ IDEA provides you with a friendly interface for editing struts.xml both in the text view and in diagram.
