Re: Tomcat 4.0b7 and struts-example webapp
Informative error messages and docs generally hasten developer time investment (and hoperfully adoption) of a new technology.

Re: Tomcat 4.0b7 and struts-example webapp
Thanks! For the record, mv $CATALINA_HOME/jasper/crimson.jar $CATALINA_HOME/lib/crimson.jar mv $CATALINA_HOME/jasper/jaxp.jar $CATALINA_HOME/lib/jaxp.jar seems to have fixed it! -Ian On Thu, 30 Aug 2001, Remy Maucherat wrote: > > Does this mean that TC 4.0b7's web.xml parsing is not backwards > > compatible to the older webapp format?

RE: Tomcat 4.0b7 and struts-example webapp
Does this mean that TC 4.0b7's web.xml parsing is not backwards compatible to the older webapp format? This sounds like a bug, not a feature. I'm using a webapp that just "runs" dropped into a TC 3.2.x installation straight out of the struts distribution. On Wed, 29 Aug 2001, Thinh Doan wrote: > I got this same error running under Jrun.

Tomcat 4.0b7 and struts-example webapp
IIRC, the struts-example from struts 1.0 was happy with most of the recent Tomcat 3.2.x releases but with 4.0b7, it's not picking up the ApplicationResources.properties file. yes, it's in /struts-example/WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/struts/webapp/example/ApplicationResources.properties and web.xml has: action org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet application org.apache.struts.webapp.example.ApplicationResources right out of the war file... This is the error: javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot find message resources under key org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE So what's up? Is there something extra to setup the classpaths inside webapps under Tomcat 4.0? cheers, -Ian -- Ian Kallen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | AIM: iankallen
unit testing struts classes
Any techniques for unit testing Action and ActionForm subclasses folks could share? I've been wondering about creating fake container environments and servlet contexts to support this but it seems like a big PITA, so if someone's been down that road, please post what you've done :) cheers, -Ian -- Ian Kallen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | AIM: iankallen
SOAP and struts
Working on an architecture that has the business logic of the model running on an external subsystem that is accessed by SOAP, we found that the SOAP client doesn't want to serialize the ActionForm subclassed beans (not sure where in the reflection voodoo it's choking yet). Anybody else used the Apache SOAP implementation's BeanSerializer with struts? I'd be interested in how the systems interacted :) cheers, -Ian -- Ian Kallen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | AIM: iankallen
"Java Server Faces"
At JavaOne today, it seemed to be suggested that j2ee would have a MVC
framework join the recommendations. Later in the talk ("scalibility in the web
tier with jsp blah blah" ridiculously long title), it struts was alluded to as
being part of j2ee in the future. So is struts the ever mysterious "Java Server
Faces"?
cheers,

Re: still fighting HTTP HTTPS problem
Are you saying that an http request can be forwarded to an https
request? That doesn't make sense; if the browser doesn't have an https
session setup, the server can do whatever it wants to resolve the request
translation. You have to redirect to go from an http request to an https
request.

Re: filtering unwanted characters
Apache 2.0 supports input filters, how about writing one that cleans the data input before mod_jk/mod_webapp can hand it off to Tomcat?
