Struts 2 Writing global results

            Most often, results are nested with the action element. But some results apply to multiple actions. In a secure application, a client might try to access a page without being authorized, and many actions may need access to a "logon" result.

            If actions need to share results, a set of global results can be defined for each package. The framework will first look for a local result nested in the action. If a local match is not found, then the global results are checked.

Global result configurations

		<global-results>
			<result name="home">home.jsp</result>
		</global-results>
