apache struts

[dagger]

How do I use struts with JBoss? I got a copy of struts zip files and how should I start with it?

Hi !

May be you could try the struts-example war found on the jakarta site: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/faqs/eclipse.html
(tell me if it works with you, for my war still doesn't deploy properly).
The nice thing is it is made for eclipse that just happens to have a Jboss ide.

There is also a eclipse plugin called EasyStruts but I tried it and it still looks pretty buggy so I did not insist.

have fun

@Gillaume
Do you have this problem while deploying ?
I can't get struts-example.war working with jboss 3.2.x

Hi,
I don't have the problem you mentioned.
Mine looks stupid enough:

[Engine] StandardContext[/struts-example]: Servlet /struts-example threw load() exception
javax.servlet.ServletException: Error instantiating servlet class org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet

11:27:58,921 ERROR [Engine] ----- Root Cause -----
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/beanutils/Converter

But after spending a lot of time on it I still don't understand why it doesn't find this class which is
in the jboss/lib and server/all/lib and in the War WEB-INF/lib ...

And also in jbossweb-tomcat41.sar:
11:26:47,248 INFO [SARDeployer] nested deployment: file:/C:/java/jboss-3.2.2/server/all/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat41.sar/commons-beanutils.jar

Did you have to deal with this ?

Cheers,
Guillaume

i think all the problems are Classloader issues.
You can try this:
---------------------------------
Date: 2003-12-04 05:27
Sender: ejort
Logged In: YES
user_id=9459

You can get the jboss-3.0.8 behaviour by changing
UseJBossWebLoader to false in
deploy/jbossweb-xxx.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml

Or you can create your own isolated loader repository
for each web application using a WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml
see docs/dtd/jboss-web_3_2.dtd

Didn't try it by myself, just compiled all my wars against the same struts version and deployment works fine now.
