Struts - different web apps using same resources

[vannguyen0]

Let's say we have a web app (mainApp) deployed to

http://www.abc.com/

(context root: "/").

I going to start work on another web app (childApp) that's going to be deployed to

http://www.abc.com/newApp

(context root: "/newApp").

is there a way to have the childApp reuse some of the jsp, CSS, images of the mainApp? Like if I wanted to use tiles in the childApp and point to template.jsp the jsp file in mainApp.

Have you thought about modularizing the application. That is having many mini modules within the main web application. I think that that may be the only solution for you. Other than that I think you may have to duplicate all the necessary resources in another .war file.
