Struts 2.1.8 and JBoss 5.1.0 GA jdk6: VFS error

[longbeach]

Hi,

I got this error when trying to deploy my EAR application :

5:17:32,154 INFO [BeanSelectionProvider] Loading global messages from messages

Is has already been reported in the Strus forum :
https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2948 (Struts 2.1.6)
http://jira.opensymphony.com/browse/XW-678 (Struts 2.1.6)

Apparently it is due to the Virtual File System in JBoss.

Of course the folder exists and the classes are there.
This is the filter i use in web.xml :

<filter>
 <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
 <filter-class>
 org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher
 </filter-class>
 <init-param>
 <param-name>actionPackages</param-name>
 <param-value>com.eni.dvtejb.clientStruts2.action</param-value>
 </init-param>
 </filter>

I am stuck. Any work around ? Thanks.

Someone will have to fix or provide a patch for XW-678.

[longbeach]

ok.
In the mean time, is there something I can do to make it work ?
If i wait for a patch, i might have to wait for a long time.

Are you deploying the app as an archive or in exploded format? Try deploying it with both the VenteEnLigne.ear and the VenteEnLigneWebStruts2.war exploded.

Hi jaikiran,

using an exploded EAR and an exploded WAR resolves the problem but :
1) it will be time consuming and annoying if I have to do it all the time i make a change and need to redeploy. Is there an option in JBoss that makes it possible to generate an exploded EAR/WAR instead of an archive ?

2) i get an HTT 404 on all Struts 2 actions i try to call. But I guess this is Struts 2 related stuff, so I am checking it.


I hope either you JBoss developpers or the Struts 2 developpers will work on a patch asap.

Thanks.

You can try something similar as we've described it here:

Hi longbeach,

workaround:
1) remove the "actionPackages" initparam, and instead
2) declare all your actions in struts.xml so that the framework finds them.

Hope this helps

Just a quick update :

I keep the actionPackages parameter in my web.xml inside my Struts 2 project.

As suggested by someone in the Struts mailing list, I cleaned up my server/default/lib folder.
I had too many jars that were not used or conflicting with each other.


It works now.

So it seems to me that JBoss 5.1 does support Struts 2.1.9 now.
