How to change default location of struts.xml in Struts 2?

Question

I want to know how to change default location of struts.xml in Struts 2?
Thank for your help!

Is there any particular reason you want to change the default location of the xml file? Its location shouldn't matter to your webapp — Zeeno, Sep 02 '11 at 10:52

To answer the question, the filter configuration accepts a "config" parameter that specifies the location(s) of S2 configuration files:

Did you have a look at the documentation?

Here it says that struts.xml should reside on the classpath of the webapp, so the location shouldn't matter, as long as it is in the classpath.

Additional link: http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/struts-1-solutions.html (Note that although it says Struts 1 Solutions it talks about Struts 2 - it's more of a migration guide)

Struts only needs to be in the class path of the webapp. Its location is irrelevant.
