RE: Struts installation notes - WebLogic 5.1
I have noticed that putting .properties files into a jar and including the jar into the lib directory solves the problem of the MessageResource. Wouldn´t it be a good idea delivering Struts with all the classes packed into a jar hence Struts would install out of the box in Weblogic...

STRUTS INSTALLATION NOTES - JRun 3.0 TESTED ENVIRONMENT (your mileage may vary): --- JRun 3.0 SP2a, Version 3.02a.11614 Microsoft IIS 5.0, Windows 2000 Thanks so much, Eric! Any other JRUN users: please, if possible, try to give these a whirl, and let us know how they work for you! So with JRUN and SilverStream being added today, of the containers most often mentioned, we're down to Websphere! Any takers?
Re: Struts installation notes
" We had multiple problems getting a Struts app to run under WebSphere (Advanced, 3.5 fix2). First, the validation of the struts-config.dtd failed during ActionServlet.init(). We hacked around this by modifying ActionServlet to call "digester.setValidating(false)" rather than passing "true". The next problem, which we couldn't work around (thus ending our WebSphere assessment), was during the attempt to open the struts-config.xml file. Here's the e-mail I sent IBM support: " I've gotten WebSphere to workaround both problems by changing struts. If I've got a spare minute to document the process (maybe 2nite as the wifely unit is in Tokyo), I'll post some instructions... -- dIon Gillard, Multitask Consulting Work: http://www.multitask.com.au NetRexx: http://www.multitask.com.au/NetRexx.nsf Previous Document Next Document Return to View

** WEBLOGIC USERS *** We're adding a installation page to the Struts documentation package. If any can playtest Robert's notes, or has any other additional comments, please let us know as soon as possible. This is an important way you can contribute to the Struts project.

Any comments or suggestions? I am particularly disturbed by the fact that I can't get WL to deploy unzipped web applications without including app-specific classes in the WL classpath! Does anyone have another approach to this? Another problem I can't seem to get around- Deployment of wars requires manually extracting the resource file(s). Perhaps there is a way to get WL to find all files in the war (and not just *.class)? BTW- the builds for the past few nights have a problem with the lowsrc property in class ImgTag (Thanks Carl for pointing out that problem with the case in that method). -Bob ~~ WEBLOGIC 5.1 (service pack 8) (1) Obtain and install the Xerces XML parser (do not use the Sun reference implementation). Put xerces.jar in your WebLogic system path. (2) Obtain and unpack the Struts binary distribution (this procedure assumes it was extracted to C:\jakarta-struts). (3) Add an entry to weblogic.properties for each of the Struts web applications that you would like to configure. For example, to make the struts-example application available, add the following line to weblogic.properties: weblogic.httpd.webApp.strutsexample=c:/jakarta-struts/webapps/struts-ex ample .war (4) You do not need to include struts.jar or any of the application specific classes in the WebLogic classpath, since this will be done automatically (unless deploying an unpacked web archive- see below). (5) Start WebLogic server and point your web browser to the struts application. For example, to connect to the example application added in step 3: http://localhost:7001/strutsexample * This example application depends on the Struts specific resource file ApplicationResources.properties to be present on the classpath. However, WebLogic only extracts *.class files from the archive so this file will not be found, resulting in an error the first time it is needed- something similar to: javax.servlet.ServletException: runtime failure in custom tag 'message'. Steps 6 7 will need to be performed for this application, and any other that relies on ApplicationResources.properties. (6) Extract ApplicationResources.properties from the *.war file, and manually copy it to the respective package in the _tmp_war_ directory WebLogic created for this application. Again referring to the struts-example application, this would be: c:\jakarta-struts\webapps\WEB-INF\_tmp_war_strutsexample (7) Restart WebLogic. You will now be able to run the application: http://localhost:7001/strutsexample * The above steps should be followed for applications deployed as *.war files. For unpacked web applications, configuration involves adding both struts.jar and /WEB-INF/classes to the WebLogic classpath. For this reason, I would suggest deploying applications as war files to WebLogic. However, the same example application can be successfully deployed in extracted format by modifying weblogic.properties (assuming the war was extracted to directory webapps/struts-example): weblogic.httpd.webApp.strutsexample=c:/jakarta-struts/webapps/struts-ex ample / And starting WebLogic with the updated WebLogic classpath. For example: c:\jdk1.3\bin\java -ms16m -mx64m -classpath c:\weblogic\lib\weblogic510sp8boot.jar;C:\weblogic\classes\boot;c:\xerc es\xe rces.jar -Dweblogic.class.path=c:\weblogic\lib\weblogic510sp8.jar;C:\weblogic\li cense ;C:\weblogic\classes;C:\weblogic\myserver\serverclasses;C:\weblogic\lib \webl ogicaux.jar;C:\jakarta-struts\lib\struts.jar;C:\jakarta-struts\webapps\ strut s-example\WEB-INF\classes -Dweblogic.system.home=c:\weblogic -Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy=c:\weblogic\weblogic.policy weblogic.Server -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Custom Software ~ Technical Services. -- Tel 716 425-0252; Fax 716 223-2506. -- http://www.husted.com/about/struts/

The servlet container is supposed to do automatic type conversions when the data type of a custom tag property is something other than a String. In this particular case, the "locale" property accepts a boolean value. The set of required conversions are in Table 2-4 on page 65 of the JSP 1.1 specification. Originally, it was not clear (in the spec) that these conversions applied to custom tag attributes, as well as jsp:setProperty/, but this was cleared up in an errata to the spec that was published last April, at: http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/errata_1_1_a_042800.html As a workaround on JRun, you can add a String setter for each non-String property, but this is not a good long term solution, because such a tag will not work on any other servlet engine (because the Java reflection code will see two setter methods, and therefore decide that neither of them is appropriate -- so the property will be considered read only).
