Is it possible to use struts 1.1 with WebSphere 4?
We need to see if its possible to make our big complex application work on WebSphere 4. We had it working on 5. The ui is done in struts and it was suggested that struts1.1 couldnt be used with WepSphere 4 as WS4 uses the 2.2 servlet API. I figured this shouldnt be a problem as struts supports 2.2 and doesnt need 2.3 Nevertheless I havent even been able to get a simple test application to run on WAS4. (Something of a struts equivalent to hello world. - One action that does a println to the response to prove you reached it) This test app deploys and runs just fine in tomcat 3.3.1a (a servlet api 2.2 container) and of course in 4.0.6, but on websphere the ActionServlet dies in the init method with: SRVE0100E: Did not realize init() exception thrown by servlet action: javax.servlet.UnavailableException: Parsing error processing resource path at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.initModuleConfig(ActionServlet.java:9 52) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.init(ActionServlet.java:468) at javax.servlet.GenericServlet.init(GenericServlet.java:258) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.StrictServletInstance.doInit(ServletManager.ja va:802) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.StrictLifecycleServlet._init(StrictLifecycleSe rvlet.java:137) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.PreInitializedServletState.init(StrictLifecycl eServlet.java:243) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.StrictLifecycleServlet.init(StrictLifecycleSer vlet.java:103) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.ServletInstance.init(ServletManager.java:388) at javax.servlet.GenericServlet.init(GenericServlet.java:258) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.ServletManager.addServlet(ServletManager.java: 84) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.WebAppServletManager.loadServlet(WebAppServlet Manager.java:226) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.WebAppServletManager.loadAutoLoadServlets(WebA ppServletManager.java:357) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.WebApp.loadServletManager(WebApp.java:1001) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.WebApp.init(WebApp.java:133) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.srt.WebGroup.loadWebApp(WebGroup.java:234) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.srt.WebGroup.init(WebGroup.java:139) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.ServletEngine.addWebApplication(ServletEngine.java:63 3) at com.ibm.ws.runtime.WebContainer.install(WebContainer.java:36) at com.ibm.ws.runtime.Server.startModule(Server.java:615) at com.ibm.ejs.sm.active.ActiveModule.startModule(ActiveModule.java:509) at com.ibm.ejs.sm.active.ActiveModule.startAction(ActiveModule.java:355) at com.ibm.ejs.sm.active.ActiveObject.startObject(ActiveObject.java:709) at com.ibm.ejs.sm.active.ActiveObject.start(ActiveObject.java:131) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at com.ibm.ejs.sm.agent.AdminAgentImpl.activeObjectInvocation(AdminAgentImpl.ja va:93) at com.ibm.ejs.sm.active.ActiveObject.invokeContainedObject(ActiveObject.java:5 12) at com.ibm.ejs.sm.agent.AdminAgentImpl.activeObjectInvocation(AdminAgentImpl.ja va:110) at com.ibm.ejs.sm.agent.AdminAgentImpl.invokeActiveObject(AdminAgentImpl.java:6 2) at com.ibm.ejs.sm.agent._AdminAgentImpl_Tie._invoke(_AdminAgentImpl_Tie.java:80 ) at com.ibm.CORBA.iiop.ExtendedServerDelegate.dispatch(ExtendedServerDelegate.ja va:506) at com.ibm.CORBA.iiop.ORB.process(ORB.java:2294) at com.ibm.CORBA.iiop.OrbWorker.run(OrbWorker.java:185) at com.ibm.ejs.oa.pool.ThreadPool$PooledWorker.run(ThreadPool.java:95) at com.ibm.ws.util.CachedThread.run(ThreadPool.java:122) Is this just something Im doing wrong (ideas on what would be appreciated!), or is it really true that you cant use struts 1.1 with websphere 4? useless-information Its a simple app I banged together with one action that writes a string directly to the response.

Andrew, Sounds like something is amiss in your test app. I have been running my app built around Struts 1.1 with WebSphere 4 for a long time. Are you are using the latest jar files ... RC2?

I've got production apps running on 1.1 RC2 on WAS 4, so I would hope that means it is possible to do so. ;^) BTW, I didn't make any changes to the struts code for WAS 4, so that's not your problem.

[OT] RE: Is it possible to use struts 1.1 with WebSphere 4?
David, I am having limited issues with WAS 4 and RC2, looks the html:rewrite tags are not resolving correctly. Are you using the system property com.ibm.websphere.sendredirect.compliance=true for WAS 4?

RE: Is it possible to use struts 1.1 with WebSphere 4?
Be sure to have xercesImpl.jar and xml-apis.jar in your lib, as well. That's what solved that parsing error I had with WAS 4.

Its b3 if I recall rightly. Ill download rc2 and have another shot in the morning. Just wierd that it works in tomcat but fails in WS. I recall seing something that said for WS3 you needed to change struts use of ServletContext.getResourceAsStream() - does that still apply in WS4? -Original Message- From: Susan Bradeen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 11 June 2003 19:57 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Is it possible to use struts 1.1 with WebSphere 4? Andrew, Sounds like something is amiss in your test app. I have been running my app built around Struts 1.1 with WebSphere 4 for a long time. Are you are using the latest jar files ... RC2? Even with the trouble I ran into yesterday with the RC2 struts.jar, I can get my app to load and do most things. Susan On 06/11/2003 07:25:57 AM Andrew Hill wrote: We need to see if its possible to make our big complex application work on WebSphere 4. We had it working on 5. The ui is done in struts and it was suggested that struts1.1 couldnt be used with WepSphere 4 as WS4 uses the 2.2 servlet API. I figured this shouldnt be a problem as struts supports 2.2 and doesnt need 2.3 Nevertheless I havent even been able to get a simple test application to run on WAS4. (Something of a struts equivalent to hello world. - One action that does a println to the response to prove you reached it) This test app deploys and runs just fine in tomcat 3.3.1a (a servlet api 2.2 container) and of course in 4.0.6, but on websphere the ActionServlet dies in the init method with: SRVE0100E: Did not realize init() exception thrown by servlet action: javax.servlet.UnavailableException: Parsing error processing resource path at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.initModuleConfig(Action Servlet.java:9 52) snip/ Is this just something Im doing wrong (ideas on what would be appreciated!), or is it really true that you cant use struts 1.1 with websphere 4? useless-information Its a simple app I banged together with one action that writes a string directly to the response.

Please define not resolving correctly -- if you do a view source, does your link look right? What exactly are you putting in the rewrite tag, etc? Give us some more information so we can answer better! =) I doubt the compliance property you mention has any effect on the rewrite tag. Of course, I'm not using the tag anywhere, either, so I could be off-base on that anyway. =) --David -Original Message- From: Susan Bradeen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 9:32 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: [OT] RE: Is it possible to use struts 1.1 with WebSphere 4?

RE: [OT] RE: Is it possible to use struts 1.1 with WebSphere 4?
Thank you for replying, and I apologize for the brevity of my last message. I was more focused on the fact that you are running WAS 4.0 with RC2 without trouble. I had posted my problem yesterday, but I wasn't entirely sure of the cause at the that time, so it was probably badly explained. As it happens, setting the compliance property does appear to make the problem go away, but I don't have the option of using it (or mandating that people who use this app have to set this property in order for the app to work correctly). For my problem, as an example, in a JSP I have html:rewrite page=/change.do / In RC1, this generates a href=/myApp/change.do , which forwards correctly. In RC2, this generates a href=/myApp/myApp/change.do , which gives me a 404 error, since the myApp gets appended to the path twice. I noticed today that a bugzilla report has been filed for this. At least that gave me some confidence that it wasn't happening in just my web application. Thanks again.

I am under the impression that href won't append the myApp piece (the context root?) automatically, like the page attribute does. Under RC1 (I've switched back now), the above generates a href=/change.do , which isn't right either. Although, you might be right that it could work under my RC2 conditions. :) Thanks, David.
