[SOLVED] XDoclet seems to ignore @struts tags

[anewby]

I've followed the FAQ instructions to update the XDoclet bundled with JBoss-IDE to the shipping general XDoclet distribution (1.2.1). (I moved over all the xdoclet-*-module-1.2.1.jar files and refreshed XDoclet.)

Before doing this I could not process the strutsconfigxml subtask at all. Now I can.

However, what I get is a well-formed, but empty struts-config.xml, except for the merge files I have set up.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.1//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd">

<struts-config>

<!-- ========== Data Sources Definitions =================================== -->

</struts-config>


I have included @struts.action and @struts.action-forward tags in my Action classes:

/**
* @struts.action path="/viewsignin"
* @struts.action-forward name="success" path="/voila.jsp"
*/

However, these are not processed during XDoclet generation, although all my other ejb, web and jboss tags are processed just fine.

I'm hoping it's something simple ...

Hi,

It seems that your source files are not processed because you have a too restrictive fileset.
You can also try to launch the generated XDoclet build file with Ant and set the verbose switch to see what happens.

Laurent,

You were exactly right - thank you. I had religioiusly followed the Tutorial Fibo example to get a working environment and then stupidly forgotten to remove the **/*Servlet.java fileset restriction in the webdoclet fileset.

Everything is now perfect!

Adrian
