Struts 2: ui.theme changes in struts.properties are not getting reflected

Question

I am creating a project using maven as below

mvn archetype:generate -B -DgroupId=com.myApplication -DartifactId=MyApplication -
DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.struts -DarchetypeArtifactId=struts2-archetype-starter -
DarchetypeVersion=2.3.7

After that in struts.properties file I am changing

struts.ui.theme=xhtml

to

struts.ui.theme=simple

but when I run the application the simple theme doesn't apply.

Answer 1

Find the files struts.properties struts.xml in the project and in deployment. Check that every found file contains necessary changes before run and after run. And struts.xml doesn't contain <constant name="struts.ui.theme". If it doesn't help try to search disk or computer for keyword struts.ui.theme. HTH
