RE: Problems in setting up Weblogic5.1 + SP8 + Jakarta-Struts
Title: RE: Problems in setting up Weblogic5.1 + SP8 + Jakarta-Struts Struts with Weblogic 5.1 SP8 on NT or Unix (Linux or Solaris) can be set up as follows: 1. Make sure that struts.jar is NOT in your classpath or your JRE ext directory. 2. Copy struts.jar to the WEB-INF/lib directory of your web app. 3. Add the following to your web.xml: context-param param-nameweblogic.jsp.precompile/param-name param-valuetrue/param-value /context-param 4. Make sure that the load order for the servlets defined in web.xml is set. IE: servlet . . (other stuff here) . load-on-startup2/load-on-startup /servlet Hope this helps, Brett -Original Message- From: Brian Knorr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 09, 2001 8:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Problems in setting up Weblogic5.1 + SP8 + Jakarta-Struts My experience with WLS 5.1 sp8 has been very tiresome... many days of trial and error getting it to work with struts (and yes I followed the directions on the struts page for wls sp8 -- maybe this works on Windows but definitely not on unix)...

RE: Problems in setting up Weblogic5.1 + SP8 + Jakarta-Struts
This was just an example (specific to where I installed Struts), the path will most likely be different on your machine. You will need to see where WL creates the temp directory for the application and then copy the properties file to this location. The properties file must also be placed in the appropriate directory structure (corresponding to the full package name). -Original Message- From: Lu, Wei [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 09, 2001 1:08 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Problems in setting up Weblogic5.1 + SP8 + Jakarta-Struts Hello, I got in trouble in setting up Weblogic5.1 + SP8 + Jakarta-Struts.

(Clarification) RE: Problems in setting up Weblogic5.1 + SP8 + Jakarta-Struts
Just wanted to clarify a couple of things... You must remove the load-on-startup tag from under the "Action Servlet Configuration" section of your web.xml. Also... the struts-example will still not work as I described below, because every jsp page in this example requires the application.properties to be loaded already by the action servlet. But you can't load the action servlet first, you must hit a jsp. I wouldn't worry about getting the example to work, just forge ahead... but if you really truely desire to get the example working, just unwar the stuts-example (don't forget to update your weblogic.properties -- it's not a .war anymore) and add your own test.jsp page (doesn't even need any content) under the strut-example directory. Load test.jsp in your browser, then load the action servlet by submiting to the action path "logoff.do". Example: "http://[SERVER_NAME]:PORT/struts-example/test.jsp "http://[SERVER_NAME]:PORT/struts-example/logoff.do Thanks, Brian -Original Message- From: Brian Knorr Sent: Monday, April 09, 2001 7:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Problems in setting up Weblogic5.1 + SP8 + Jakarta-Struts My experience with WLS 5.1 sp8 has been very tiresome... many days of trial and error getting it to work with struts (and yes I followed the directions on the struts page for wls sp8 -- maybe this works on Windows but definitely not on unix)...
