Problem with using jstl

[mspiller]

I have a struts application that i wanted to run on jboss 7.0.2. However i get:

I tried to exclude jstl inside jboss-deployment-structure and use http://jstl.java.net/, but it does not work:

<sub-deployment name="sample.war">

<exclusions>

<module name="javax.servlet.jstl.api" />

</exclusions>   

</sub-deployment>

It always uses jboss-jstl-api. It seems to me that Resources file is missing.

Any tips?

Hi,

how does your deployment looks like?  ear? war? I say that ear as you are talking about sub-deployments...

Where are your resources located? jstl library does not have resource for sl_SI you have to provide your own..

in default implementation jar's there are only English and Japanese resources...

cheers,

To throw in some PR :

* http://pot.kiberpipa.org/super-fast-java-development-with-jbossas7-ales-justin-tomaz-cerar/

Come here and we'll fix this, then you can write-up a wiki about how it was solved. ;-)

Question 1:

It's an EAR deployment with multiple war's and jar's. I wanted to exclude jstl from one war (it seems global exclusion also does not work).

I am still learning how to use jboss-deployment-structure. It seems to work sometimes and not othertimes. Basically as alternative I wanted just to exclude jstl from JBoss. But it always loads it from JBoss. I really want to know how to exclude specific modules.

Question 2.

In case sl_SL is not provided english should be used.

I patched jboss-jstl-api_1.2_spec-1.0.1.Final.jar with adding:

modules\javax\servlet\jstl\api\main\jboss-jstl-api_1.2_spec-1.0.1.Final.jar\org\apache\taglibs\standard\lang\jstl\Resources.properties from

http://grepcode.com/file/repository.springsource.com/org.apache.taglibs/com.springsource.org.apache.taglibs.standard/1.1.2/org/apache/taglibs/standard/lang/jstl/Resources.properties

Here you can see that jboss-jstl from 7.0.2 is actually lacking the Resources.properties and Resources_ja.properties.

With this I fixed this bug inside jboss jstl api. Perhaps some other modul is a container for needed resource, but can't find which (JSF?)

[ctomc]

Matej, you are right, the jar is missing properties files.

But sources have them even if you look https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/index.html#view-repositories;releases~browsestorage~/org/jboss/spec/javax/servlet/jstl/jboss-jstl-api_1.2_spec/1.0.1.Final/jboss-jstl-api_1.2_spec-1.0.1.Final-sources.jar

looks like someone forgot to move them from java to resources while mavenizing...

https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/specs/tags/jboss-jstl-api_1.2_spec-1.0.1.Final/src/main/java/org/apache/taglibs/standard/lang/jstl/

I will check what can be done to fix this.

cheers,

Hi,

can you try if it works with attached version of jboss-jstl-api_1.2_spec?

just copy the file into jboss_home\modules\javax\servlet\jstl\api\main and fix the reference in module.xml to new file.

if everything is correct, you won't need any special handling of this module inside jboss-deployment-structure.xml

cheers,

tomaz

Tomaz hi,

it works with provided file (with both, mine patched and your patched snapshop version). Tnx for patching jboss

Can u also help me with, why deployment exclusion does not work in that case? Is it even possible to exclude jstl.

For example, if we need to deploy to a unpatched jboss that we don't have access to.

[ctomc]

Hi,

try with this:

{code:xml}<exclusions>
     <module name="javax.servlet.jstl.api" slot="main" />
</exclusions> {code}   

if it makes any difference.

[alesj]

You can leave out "slot="main"", as that's impl detail.

You can leave out "slot="main"", as that's impl detail.

If this is not the case, then it's a bug in what-ever is handling this.
