A popular strategy is "divide and conquer". The framework lets you apply "divide and conquer" to configuration files using the include element.

    <!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC
      "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN"
      "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd">
    <struts>
        <include file="Home.xml"/>
        <include file="Hello.xml"/>
        <include file="Simple.xml"/>
        <include file="/util/POJO.xml"/>
    </struts>

Each included file must be in the same format as `struts.xml`, including the `doctype`. The include files can be placed anywhere on the classpath.

In a large-team environment, the include files can be used to organize different modules of the application that are being developed by different team members.
