Bernard and I had a similar weekend - I'm porting a WW 1.0 app to WW/Xwork (for fun, not production), ran into the same null pointer and resolved it the same way (root components in otherwise empty components.xml). I'll pull my ServletContextListener as the real solution. Thanks!
However, the reason I had added the ServletContextListener was as a (shot-in-the-dark) attempt to resolve another null pointer I was getting: ActionContext.getSession() always returns a null Map. I've replaced this with: ServletActionContext.getRequest().getSession() ...and all is fine, but I'm wondering if I haven't misconfigured something (although walking through the code, there's nothing in WW 2.0 that seems to set the session). ActionContext.getSession() was useful in WW 1.0 for returning a convenient wrapper around the HttpSession (SessionMap) - is this not going to be the case anymore? Will there be a return of SessionAware eventually? The other issue I ran into was the absence of many of the WW 1.0 JSP tags - url, action and bean in particular. The roadmap makes no mention of these and I couldn't find details in the archives so I'll just ask: what are the status of these tags - deprecated, not yet implemented, terminated? I'm not particularly distraught as there are clear techniques to switch to and (largely because of the testimonials I've been reading in this list) I'm going to try out Velocity but I am still curious about the absence of the tags. Otherwise the port has been as smooth as can be. The interceptors and validation scheme have been excellent. Great work! t _____________________________________________ You should only need this ServletContextListener if you are using the Component stuff, in which case you would also need a components.xml file to describe the components you use.=20 > I get around it by providing a dummy components.xml file=20 > where it only=20 > has a root node with nothing in between.
