login.jsp tag library error?

[wgblackmon]

I'm trying to run the Bank app using JBoss 3.x via the 'Getting Started
With JBoss'. I've deployed the app successfully but when I hit the
http://127.0.0.1:8080/bank/main URL or http://localhost:8080/bank/main
I get a blank screen with the following error message in the logs:

I'm unsure what to make of this. The Struts and Servlet jar files are included in the web.war file. Any ideas?

[raviies]

did you get to resolve this error so far?

I'm stuck up at exactly the same place

[wgblackmon]

Yes, I fixed the problem but it was long and difficult and I don't remember exactly how I did it. I know I removed the javax.servlet.jar from the default/lib directory and replaced the struts.jar file with a version dated 6/29/2003 (I believe I'd used a more recent version of the struts.jar originally, which was NOT the version recommended in the tutorial). I believe there was some type of collision between the Tomcat servlet.jar and the java.servlet.jar in default/lib. The problem was not with any .tld files because I checked that first. Sorry I don't remember exactly how I fixed it - I was moving too quickly.

[raviies]

Yep You are right...

Removing servlet.jar default/deploy seems to solve the problem

Example application works fine... except it throws some exceptions when I logoff. I couldn't care less.

So 3 major changes are required to make the example application work on jboss-3.2.5:

1>In build.properties comment out servlet.jar path or make it point to tomcat's servlet.jar as shown in step (2)

2> In jboss-build.xml change the servlet.jar property so that tomcat's servlet.jar is picked




3> remove servlet.jar from default/deploy
