I am new to JBoss and am trying to set up a web app that i currently have running in tomcat 4.1.24. The version of JBoss I am running is 3.2.5. When I drop the web-app in this is the browser stack trace I get.

If more information is needed I would be happy to find it. If anyone could shed some light on this I would REALLY appreciate it.

Hi,

it seems that the versions of Struts and the JSP API you're using don't fit together. The Tomcat 5 shipped with JBoss 3.2.5 is already using the javax.servlet.* classes from the J2EE1.4 API. There the BodyTagSupport class - from which the Struts iterate tag is inheriting - implements the newly introduced interface javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.JspTag. So the new method signature does not fit any more the old tags of Struts.

Two possibilities I see here: try using an old version of Tomcat (maybe just use the 4.1 service shipped with JBoss 3.2.3) or try to find a new version of Struts supporting the new JSP API.

HTH!

Cheers,

René

Hi gmccormick,

I have the same problem as you above. The suggested fix did not work.
Strange thing is the struts-example.war deployed and run perfectly while my own app (which at the moment is just a stripped down version of struts-example.war) throws the exceptions you mentioned.
Did you manage to fix this problem in your app,

thanks,

brian.
