Hi Mike and Malcolm! (And Orion-Interest list - moved from jakarta-struts
list.)
Thanks for the information.
Mike, I revised my Orion.xml files as you suggested - but still having
problems. (I think there is a "hole" in my understanding of this whole
setup issue.)
Here is my current setup:
My WAR file is c:\orion\applications\struts-documentation.war
My application.xml refers to: <web-module id="struts-documentation"
path="../applications/struts-documentation.war" />
My default-web-site.xml refers to: <web-app
application="struts-documentation" name="struts-documentation"
root="/struts-documentation" />
Under this setup - Orion initializes fine. However - when I enter
"http://localhost/struts-documentation" in a browser, I get the following
error message:
Error instantiating web-application
No application named 'struts-documentation' found in the server
This leads me to believe that I need to add "something" back to the
server.xml file. But when I add the following: <application
name="struts-documentation" path="../applications/struts-documentation.war"
/>
to server.xml - Orion does not initialize and I receive the original error
message (error instantiating application at file
c:/orion/applications/struts-documentation.war: unable to find/read/
assembly information for c:\orion\applications\struts-documentation
<META-INF/application.xml>)
OK - so back to my original question - don't I need an application.xml for
my .WAR? Do I need to include the application.xml in the WAR file?
Malcolm - I appreciate your hints. But what specific element to you mean
by download the J2EE "stuff" from Sun. What utility are you referring to
create the WAR? I'm obviously an idiot - so any specific information will
be helpful.
Thanks again for all of your help!

This is actually not a problem, it's a misunderstanding ;)
The <application> tag is for J2EE applications, WAR files are "web
applications", not whole J2EE applications. WARs are one of the modules that
makes up an EAR.
There is no need to build an EAR to deploy WAR files in Orion (or any J2EE
compliant server).
In your config/application.xml file add:
<web-module id="strutsDoc"
path="d:\scratch\jakarta-struts\webapps\struts-documentation.war" />
Then in config/default-web-site.xml (or ANY website file) add:
<web-app application="default" name="strutsDoc" root="/struts/doc" />
And any WAR will deploy.
Hope this helps,
Mike
