For those using all the latest features of WebWork and have no requirement for backwards compatibility, configuring web.xml is a matter of adding a single filter and, if you're using JSP, a taglib. However, those upgrading from version 2.1.7 of earlier may need to do a bit more work to get everything in order. See web.xml 2.1.x compatibility for more information.
The filter is configured as:
<filter>
<filter-name>webwork</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.opensymphony.webwork.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>webwork</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
For those using JSP, you may also configuration the tag library as:
<!--
This typically isn't required, as the taglib is included in webwork.jar.
If you really need a taglib configuration within web.xml, copy webwork/src/java/META-INF/taglib.tld
to the WEB-INF directory as webwork.tld.
-->
<!--taglib>
<taglib-uri>webwork</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/webwork.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib-->
