RE: Weblogic 5.1 and Struts 1.0, Classpath question

[rhayden]

Harit,

2) Do not unjar-the-war, or struts.jar :)

1) Do not put struts.jar in the weblogic classpath... Here is my output from
wlconfig:

WebLogic startup settings are presently:

blogic\classes\boot;C:\weblogic\eval\cloudscape\lib\cloudscape.jar


4) You have added an entry in weblogic.properties for each application,
right? i.e.

weblogic.httpd.webApp.strutsexample=c:/java/jakarta-struts10/webapps/struts-
example.war
weblogic.httpd.webApp.strutsdocs=c:/java/jakarta-struts10/webapps/struts-doc
umentation.war
weblogic.httpd.webApp.strutstest=c:/java/jakarta-struts10/webapps/struts-tes
t.war 

5) Now start WL and let it extract the classes from the wars, then you need
to open the war with winzip and extract only ApplicationResources.properties
and put this with the other class files in the _tmp_war.

6) Restart WL and it should work.


Good luck :)

Re: Weblogic 5.1 and Struts 1.0, Classpath question

[renzo estrella]

I was using the struts 0.5 examples I did not unjar
the
 main struts.jar file, I left that in the lib 
 directory. 
 Instead I unjarred the struts-example.war file &  
 modified the web.xml for the struts-example demo.
 Weblogic5.1 doesn't seem able to read ResourceBundles
 from a *.war file.
 I have not tried the 1.0 examples, if you are using
 those perhaps what I did those not apply.

Re: new template tag framework

I think this is a good idea. In a couple of weeks, I'll have some time to
integrate it, unless someone objects.

Re: Weblogic 5.1 and Struts 1.0, Classpath question

[renzo estrella]

This may be caused by the cast exception problem:
  MessageTag code first gets tries to get 
  the MessageResources from 
  servletContext.getAttribute()
  It then cast the object returned to MessageResources
   this failure may be leading to your problem
   so I would suggest you try including the following
   sectoin into web.xml:

   
weblogic.jsp.precompile
 true

RE: Weblogic 5.1 and Struts 1.0, Classpath question

[rhayden]

See previous post from Harit (which you have probably already read). You
must extract the ApplicationResources.properties manually and put it in the
_tmp_war directory. Weblogic only extracts *.class files from the war.

Then *don't* put struts.jar in the classpath and it should work...

I have been trying the same thing. Getting the examples to work with
Weblogic 5.1. I did get pass though the problem of runtime failur by
un-jar-ing the classes and then included in WL classpath.
I still get following exception. Can anyone please explain. I really want

RE: workaround for weblogic5.1 cast exception

[rhayden]

I get the same errors as well (except for the cast exception, I haven't
encountered this one... yet). All the test pages execute successfully except
for the following 3 which generate the following errors: I am not sure if
this is useful, but Craig said "try to break it" so here you go :)

Weblogic 5.1 and Struts 1.0, Classpath question

[rhayden]

Well,

After much frustration the past few nights I have finally managed to get the
Struts 1.0 example application to work on WL5.1. The majority of my problems
had to do with the classpath, which I never thought could be so irritating
(Thierry Cools suggested not to put struts.jar in the classpath, so I did
this and then it worked... Thanks!). My other problem was that I was using
the JAXP parser from Sun, which apparently is not appropriate for Struts 1.0
and WL5.1. It was fine with 0.5, but 1.0 failed to load with many errors.
Now I am using Xerces and things are much better.

However, there is still a problem. If I put struts.jar in the WL classpath,
the example application will not work. The app deploys and loads without
errors, but when the first JSP is executed I get a "runtime failure in
custom tag 'message'" error (see below). So the easy solution is just don't
put struts.jar in the classpath. The problem is that it needs to be included
because my session beans need a few classes that are included with
struts.jar (probably not the ideal design, but this how I am doing things)
such as ValidatingActionForm. Before I unzip things and try to include just
what I need, I just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas why including this
in the classpath is causing these problems. Both *.jars are identical, so I
don't see why this makes a difference.  I am not sure what this error means
so I don't know where to begin.

Any ideas?

Thanks
-Bob

BTW - has anyone written (or in process or writing) installation notes
regarding Struts1.0 and WL5.1? If not, I would be happy to help out and do
this.

workaround for weblogic5.1 cast exception

[renzo estrella]

I made the struts-example & struts-documentation demo
 apps work by doing the following 2 steps:
 
1. For cast exception added this section to web.xml:
 
  weblogic.jsp.precompile
  true

2. For missing resource exception:
   I had to unjar the *.war files to the directorie
   because weblogic5.1 can't find resource in *.war 
   files.  
I'm using weblogic5.1 service pack 8
I get a different problem for the struts-test demo:
 "weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspException: (line 25): 
  sess is not defined as bean
  at weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspLexer.jspException  
   (JspLexer.java:665)"

Any help with the struts-test demo app would be
appreciated.

Another approach that's worth considering is the
portlet concept in JetSpeed
(http://jakarta.apache.org/jetspeed). The added
advanatge is it allows the user to customise the
layout themselves (a cheap form of personalisation).

RE: localization

[Justin Kennedy]

Thanks for the input Scott. I did what you initially said and it works fine.

Basically, the "Administrator" of this application will choose the locale he
wants to use before "Adding new data".

Picture an Admin app where Shipping carriers and services have to be entered
into the system for each language where it will be used. First the
administrator will select french locale and then enter a french description
for the service "Federal Express overnight". Then the administrator switches
to spanish to do the same thing. But the content of the page itself, aside
from the form data, will be in the language local to the administrator. My
companies "database framework" takes care of storing/retrieving the data
using a Locale object. I'm not sure at this point how it's all going to tie
together, but I currently have it working for straight up JSP.

This all may sound a little off from my original question, so I'll apologize
in advance.

Thanks again

Just as an after thought, if you intend on displaying multiple languages

to implement some custom tags for doing the generic

 Okay, thanks for the advice. I tried running this sample code with the
"user" as myself (who owns the tables), another user, and as user
"informix", who should have global read/write privileges. As any of these
users I can get a non-null result set from a select statement. I tried
the following code snippet:


  try {
boolean yup = true;
conn.setReadOnly(yup);
  }
  catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println("Bummer, dude: got an exception ");
e.printStackTrace(System.out);
  }

Regardless of the value for "yup", I got this exception:

Bummer, dude: got an exception 
java.sql.SQLException
at com.informix.util.IfxErrMsg.getSQLException(IfxErrMsg.java:308)
at
com.informix.jdbc.IfxSqliConnect.setReadOnly(IfxSqliConnect.java:1484)
at edu.ucar.comet.sql.SqlManager$Test.main(SqlManager.java:245)



So, it does not look like a Struts problem.
Looking at the database table privileges, I have:

UserSelect Update Insert  Delete  Index Alter

public   AllAllYes Yes Yes   No


Looks okay to me. I think I'll search in ernest for some API docs for this
driver tomorrow. Maybe that'll shed some light.

Any other ideas would also be appreciated.

There is probably a way to handle this within the existing Struts API, but
in reference to this particular mechanism your attempting...

The "localeKey" should actually be set to
org.apache.struts.action.Action.LOCALE_KEY.
i.e.
<%
session.setAttribute(Action.LOCALE_KEY, locale);
%>

It's unfortunate that the provided java.util.Locale object is (for the most
part) immuttable.  Although, it would probably be fairly easy to extend it
to allow setting the country and lanuage on the fly.

Hope this helps.

Re: configuring database connection pool

[Craig R. McClanahan]

It looks like the Informix JDBC driver is throwing an exception when you call 
setReadOnly(true) on one of its
connections.  Could you try that in a standalone program and see what happens, and 
also what happens if you call
setReadOnly(false)?

localization

[Justin Kennedy]

Hi all,

I'm creating an administrative web application using struts. The application
needs to change locales in different parts of the same page. I'm having
trouble accomplishing this.

I'm using struts 0.5 with tomcat 3.2.1 and jdk 1.3

I have three files in my
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/hello-world/WEB-INF/classes/helloworld/ directory
named:
HelloWorldResources.properties
HelloWorldResources_fr.properties
HelloWorldResources_fr_CA.properties

with
hello.message=Hello
in HelloWorldResources.properties

hello.message=Bonjour
in both HelloWorldResources_fr.properties and
HelloWorldResources_fr_CA.properties

by looking at the message tag in struts.tld I noticed the 'locale'
attribute. So first I tried this:


Instead of getting back Bonjour I got Hello

so then I tried:


with the same results.

then I decided to investigate MessageTag.java and found some references to
localeKey and mentioning that this was a session attribute.
So then I tried:
<%
java.util.Locale locale = new java.util.Locale("fr", "CA");
session.setAttribute("localeKey", locale);
%>


but got the same results (hello instead of bonjour)

I also tried the same thing above but with the message attribute locale of
"fr_CA" passed, but no go.

What am I doing wrong ? This is my first crack at struts.

Thanks,
-Justin

RE: new template tag framework

[Deadman, Hal]

Doesn't this Components extension leverage the struts framework? It
basically just extends the struts ActionServlet. It then provides a
component tag library that is backwardly compatible with struts template
tags. I just modified a few files in my rather small web application to use
the components tld instead of struts-template.tld and it seemed to work fine
with the latest Struts build. Going back to the current template library
would be fairly easy but I would lose central administration of the
component/page definitions.

The coolest addition would be one that actually leveraged the Struts

The current template library is generic, and any other could be easily
used in its place. (Which is the beauty Struts. It is firmly based on

Re: Examples in Code

[Dzenan Ridjanovic]

Actually, my example works just fine.  It has DbActionServlet class that
inherits from ActionServlet.  DbActionServlet grabs a data source only once
at the init time, creates a Db object and opens it with the data source
argument.  The db package is not dependent on struts.  I have used a
similar db package n several client-server applets.

I do plan to use an Oracle example as well.  However, it is nice to have a
ready db example after you download the code.  The only thing you need to
do is to define the ODBC data source.  You do not need to have the Access
software to run the example locally.  Of course, the Access db file is
Windows only.

Re: Examples in Code

[Ted Husted]

That's certainly worth looking at, and if Craig's suggestions don't fix
you up, I will.

The one thing I would note is that there are restrictions on how the
JDBC:ODBC driver can be used with an Access database. If you continue
to have problems, and haven't used this for other JDBC applications, I
would try another database to be sure that is not the problem. Likely
candidates might include MySQL (available for most platforms, including
NT) and HyperSonicSQL, which is pure Java. Once you have confirmed that
it is not an JDBC:ODBC:Access issue, you could switch back and continue
troubleshooting.

There is a capability to detect repeated submits of the same form, using a
"command token" functionality.

In the Struts example application, you will note that EditRegistrationAction
(which sets up the form bean for the registration.jsp page) calls

saveToken(request);

near the bottom.  This stores a session attribute with a transactional control
token that must be submitted on the next request in order to be valid.  Then, in
the SaveRegistrationAction (which handles the submit), we see:

if (!isTokenValid(request)) {
... deal with the error ...
}
resetToken(request);

so that your app can do whatever is appropriate when it detects a resubmit.

No changes to the JSP pages themselves are necessary (the  tag
automatically creates a hidden variable if needed).  IMHO, transactional control
like this is a "controller" thing (in the model-view-controller paradigm), so
page authors should not have to be concerned with it.

I've updated the 1.0 version of this tag (), which you should be
using instead of  in new development, to display "MISSING
APPLICATION RESOURCES" when this happens.  It had appropriate checks for null
values, and would completely ignore the ActionErrors object passed by your
application if there were no resources available.

This will show up in tonight's nightly build.

Jsp Compilation question. (Want to load Jsp's from my own location=database)

[Johan Compagner]

Hi,

My JSP files are stored in a database because it should be possible to change the jsp 
pages 
on the fly without deploying a complete new war file and/or shutting down the 
application server.
And it must be possible to upload those jsp pages through our maintenance web pages of 
our application.

The problem is how to develop a standaard way so that the (re)compilation of those 
jsp's works 
over different application servers.

In tomcat i can override the jspCompilerPlugin param of the JspServlet to get what i 
want i believe!?


jspCompilerPlugin
org.apache.jasper.compiler.JikesJavaCompiler


But this is i believe Tomcat specifiek.

So what i can do is make my own JspServlet and replace the default JspServlet of the
application servlet by defining in my web.xml my own mapping and servlet:



jsp


*.jsp



and a servlet:


jsp


my.package.MyJspServlet



In tomcat 3.1 this works:
Context log: path="/postbank" Removing duplicate servlet jsp 
Wrapper(my.package.MyJspServlet)
Context log: path="/postbank" Removing duplicate *.jsp -> Wrapper(jsp 
org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspServlet)

So it seems that by default the JspServlet is attached to that context and when 
specified another one it removes 
that one and uses the specified one.

Is this standard behaviour?

But after that i come accross a problem: How can i parse and complile the Jsp to a 
Servlet??? Because then
i need an application specifiek item. In tomcat i believe Jasper?

So to make a large question short: If i want to load the Jsp pages from my own 
location how to implement the
rest so that it works with more then one specifiek App Server?

Do you mean that you allow screen A to be cached by the browser?  In other 
words, you aren't setting the no-cache stuff in the HTML header to prevent 
caching?

LookupForm is a subclass of ActionForm...ok.  What is the variable 
lkupform? an instance of LookupForm?  I'm confused.  Then you call 
oldform.processAction()...don't get this either.  What I would imagine you 
want to do from a purely logical perspective is to recover the saved 
ActionForm associated with screen A and use RequestDispatcher.forward() to 
forward to the JSP that displays screen A.  That will reproduce screen A 
for the user with the same data the user last saw.  How does the above code 
do that?  Or am I misunderstanding what needs to happen here?

As others have indicated, "action.xml" is there as a compatibility aid for
people migrating from Struts 0.5.  New development should be based on
"struts-config.xml".

I've just added a deprecation warning at the top of "action.xml" to reduce the
confustion of having both files present.

There are three things you will need to do:

* Make sure that both the Struts controller servlet and your own
  servlet are marked .

* Use values for the  attribute that cause the
  Struts controller servlet to be initialized first (for example, use a
  "1" as the value for the controller servlet, and "2" for yours).
  I'm not positive that Tomcat 3.2 respects this, but it is supposed to.

* The Struts controller servlet makes the data source it initializes
  available as a servlet context attribute, as well as available via a
  method call.  You can therefore grab it by calling:

DataSource ds = (javax.sql.DataSource)
  getServletContext().getAttribute(Action.DATA_SOURCE_KEY);

  in any other servlet (or JSP page) that is part of the same web app.

I'm online while writing this response, so the link to the Errata in question

 A request-time attribute value is passed with no conversion.

 A literal string is converted following the rules in Table 2-4, section

RE: Post without getting new page? -- RE: Handling refresh in a web based application

[Abraham Kang]

Hi James,

   This might sound complicated because it is.  You will again have to have
a hidden frame with a non-visual applet in it.  Everytime a page loads in
the visible page you will want to fire some JavaScript on the visible page
to notify the applet on the non-visual page of the form the user is viewing.
Each time an input field loses focus you will notify the applet so it can
communicate changes to the interface to the server.  One of the things to
note is applet security restrictions will only allow you to set up the web
server and JSP/Servlet engine on the same host.  This solution is not
trivial and I would not sugguest you pursue this option unless it was
absolutely required and you had the time to figure out Javascript to Java
interaction.

Good Luck,
Abraham

"Invalid Path" plague

[Peter Doyle]

Hi,
 Part of my application involves the user filling in multiple forms as part
of a wizard.
I'm having trouble with paths. My forms are not in my web app root they are
in a sub directory.
I've followed the struts example as a basis for this application but I
cannot satisfy the action mappings for the form action.

What I want is for the user to go from one form to the next after they have
entered the correct details.
I've tried including  but this doesn't seem to help.

Any help before I go postal?

Cheers,
Peter

Just setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_NO_CONTENT) in your response; 
the browser will cheerfully do nothing.

Andy Boyko   [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Post without getting new page? -- RE: Handling refresh in a web b ased application

[Howard Moore]

There is a HttpServletResponse code 204 (SC_NO_CONTENT) that stipulates that
the browser should continue to display the previous document because no new
document is available. This might do what you want.

RE: FormTag problem

[Howard Moore]

If I understand it correctly, I don't think your modified tag works in all
cases. If, for example, you have a web-application called testApp and a
logon form at;

http:///testApp/admin/logon.do 

the ActionMapping defined in struts-config.xml must have a path attribute of
"/admin/logon" (I think) for the ActionServlet to find it (assuming you are
using extension mapping). To also find this mapping from your modified
FormTag you would need something like;



so in the output html it would write



This is ok if your JSP page that contains this form is under the same branch
as the logon page e.g.

http:///testApp/admin/changePassword.jsp

but fails if you are under a different branch such as;

http:///testApp/cart/checkout.jsp

because it will produce the URL;

http:///testApp/cart/logon.do

and not the one you want. 

Note: I've not tested this so I may have got it completely wrong :-)


The approach I've taken is slightly different (and may also not work
properly). I do the same thing as you to look up the ActionMapping except I
only add the leading forward-slash if there isn't already one. To build html
form element, however, rather than stripping the path and making the URL
relative I prepend the context path (the name of the web-application) and
make it an absolute URL. In the above example the output html this method
produces would be;



Which always works, I think. This basically copies the way redirecting
ActionForwards are handled in ActionServlet.

Post without getting new page? -- RE: Handling refresh in a web based application

By saying "the request is ignored", what do you expect to be displayed in the
browser? I assume you just wnat what page is displayed before the refresh. 

I have a related question that has been puzzling me for a while: can you just do
a simple data post to the server from a web browser (form, link, or any DOM
event etc) without causing the browser to expect/display new pages from the
server? For instance, when the state at the client side has changed (e.g., the
user changed the content in a form, notice that no submit button is clicked
yet), I'd like to notify the server the user state has been changed but I don't
need and don't want to get/display any new page from the server.

Can't get struts-example to run

Hi, 
I'm having trouble to get the test-application to run on Solaris. I've
tried Solaris 2.6 and 2.8, without success. JDK1.2.2_05a was used in

patch 6, to correct some troubles with Locales, but since I didn't got
lucky with Solaris 8 either, I really can use som help.

(With Linux/Intel I have no trouble...)

The trouble is that when I start up Tomcat (3.2.1) I get the message

Re: AW: JDBC Connection Pooling

[Ted Husted]

Depending on what you are trying to do, you may want to setup a new
servlet from scratch. The GenericDataSource is in the Utilities
package, and may also be used outside of Struts.

On the other hand, if you are using the GenericDataSource within
Struts, it's still not clear to me why you want to subclass the
ActionServlet for this. It should work fine out of the box.

The problem I'm facing is a bit diffrent as I want to access the
Connection Pool from a servlet that is started upon startup
of the servlet engine (similar to the struts example application).
In order to be able to access the DataSource, I tried to subclass
the ActionServlet class and to access the data source that way.
However, my servlet engine (Tomcat 3.2.1) complains that it is unable
to start this new Action servlet...

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Thanks for mentioning that! I've been thinking of starting an

Conceptually, this would be somewhere between the Struts test
application and the current example application.

I may try to merge my simple login app with the Fruit Glaze MySQL

In the 1.1 timeframe, we would also like to look at forming some type

Hi,

those two, I guess, are more or less redundant while action.xml is

I used struts-config.xml within the example and this one worked.

Hi there,

I would say that in the example application the action.xml file is not used.
Just have a look at the web.xml file. There struts-config.xml is provided as the
config parameter to the ActionServlet:

You can savely remove action.xml and the example application should still be
running ok. Maybe it is a good idea to delete it from the example application,
because it obviously leads to quite some confusion. I don't know who would take
care of removing it from the repository.

Have a nice day,

Handling refresh in a web based application

[ron talk]

Hi all,

is there anyway to determine whether a repeated http request has been 
generated through a
  - click on the refresh button on a browser
  - through clicking the back button a the browser and re-clicking the 
link/button generating the initial request

I am working on a struts based application in which I must allow the request 
to be completed if it is though going back and re clicking the link, but if 
its a simple refresh, the request is ignored.

re: FormTag problem

[Chris Smith]

The problem is because the action in the jsp form tag is being used for 
two purposes - for the generated HTML and for looking up the 
ActionMapping.

If you have the directory path in the form tag and modify FormTag.java so 
it doesn't strip it out, struts will generate the HTML page for you.  But 
when you come to submit the form, it fails because the browser submits 
relative to the directory in the URL, i.e. the browser submits to 
/execute/action/execute/action/logon (I think, I'm using *.do).

If you go the other way, without the directory in the form tag, you have 
to remove the directory from struts-config.xml.  Again, the HTML is 
generated ok, but when you try submitting the form, the browser submits 
it relative to the directory in the url, i.e. execute/action/logon, which 
isn't found in struts-config.xml.

My fix is to modify FormTag.java so it uses the action with a leading 
"/", all directories, but without ".do" to look up the action mapping, 
and uses a different version - one without the leading directories in the 
generated HTML.

I'm using *.do mapping, but I think this should work for the /execute 
type mapping too.

I've attached my modified FormTag.java and posted to struts-dev too.

I setup your web page in a web app and had the same
problem.  I finally noticed that your title tag isn't
closed off.  That was the problem.

Also, you only need to have the action specified for
the form () if you have
it defined under the struts-config.xml.  It will look
up the corresponding name and bean/form object that
goes with the form

Re: why struts-config.xml AND action.xml

[Rob Leland]

It is confusing. If you are starting a new application then use
struts-config.xml and
delete action.xml. The action.xml was originally used with struts 0.5, after
that
struts-config.xml was created which replaces action.xml.

It is only left in the example application since struts 1.0
will still read from action.xml if it exists. Though I am not
sure if the example application actually uses action.xml
or not.

My guess is that is unable to find one of your class referenced in
your jsp file. This could be a custom tag or a java class.
Double check your class paths.

RE: RE: no 'application' init parameter for ActionServlet causes NullPoin terException in ??

[perry . tew]

Martin,
Thanks for the response.  That's sort of the same conclusion I came to.
If that's the way it needs to be, that's fine.  I like the design of the
resource file.   I just skipped it in the interest of getting my first
example working with as little as possible.

Craig & Company:  Prehaps it would be possible to modify the documentation
in such a way as to better explain this requirement?  I was thrown off by
the description in the javadoc.  It would also be cool if the ErrorsTag.java
source checked for a null messages object and threw a more descriptive error
message stating that an application parameter is required, or something.
Just a thought.

Again, thanks for the excellent tool.  I'm really excited about using it.

type attribute in struts-config.xml

[Howard Moore]

I've noticed that the 'type' attribute of 'action-mappings', 'form-beans'
and 'global-forwards' elements in struts-config.xml is ignored (in the
2122 build).

Is this likely to be fixed for version 1.0?

I just tried this whole reloading an app thing with the 20010124 build. I still get an 
exception
thrown. Tomcat3.2 detects the change to my non-servlet class, but something goes wrong 
with the
reloading. I get various exceptions depending on where I am in the app. Some of the 
ones I've seen
are

- javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: object is not an instance of declaring class
- javax.servlet.ServletException: org.apache.struts.action.ActionMappings
- javax.servlet.ServletException: org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources

I haven't moved to Tomcat4 yet. If anyone else is using it I'd like to know if the 
reloading of a
Struts app works. If Tomcat4 is stable enough to develop with Struts, the reloading 
feature would be
a big incentive to move to it.

i18n and weblogic 6.0

[Van der Auwera Koen]

hello

I developped a struts-application (using i18n) on tomcat 3.2 and it works
fine.

Now I got it running on Weblogic 6.0 but I got a problem though:
In the jsp's I use the struts-tag   
So I should get on my screen "Search" but instead I get "\nSearch".

Any ideas, I really don't know where the "\n" comes from. I don't have
that problem on tomcat.

thanks

The problem I'm facing is a bit diffrent as I want to access the
Connection Pool from a servlet that is started upon startup
of the servlet engine (similar to the struts example application).
In order to be able to access the DataSource, I tried to subclass
the ActionServlet class and to access the data source that way.
However, my servlet engine (Tomcat 3.2.1) complains that it is unable
to start this new Action servlet...

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Best regards

Jürgen

Hi, 

you have to fix several changes in your sources see
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/release.html or 
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/index.html concerning 1.0.

Does anybody has (bad) experience with JRun 3.0. The struts example 0.5
worked properly. And now, the example 1.0 is not working anymore...

Antwort: Re: unsafe path error

[michael . brohl]

Hello Joshua,

the path shown in the error message must be constructed by Tomcat/Struts itself.
There isn't any explicit drive in any of the configuration files.

I got a hint from Daniel Bauert who tells me to check the path and folder names
bacause they are case sensitive. In fact, my WEB-INF folder was not completely
in capitals. Changing that the whole thing works fine.

Regards


Michael

 Thema: Re: unsafe path error   








This is a security error. Using D:\ type links is considered unsafe(and
should be!) instead try using a relative link with \ being the root of your
webapp. As for a list of errors i don't know of one, but it is usually
doing a text search of the tomcat source will reveal the answer. grep -rl
on a unix system or I believe you can use the Find file command on windows.
This shows that "Unsafe path" errors only happen when getResource is called
with a "unsafe url" in Context.java.
