Struts depends on those other .jar files, so it's best to use the ones
that come with Struts to avoid problems.  The dtd's and tld's are inside
the .jar files, and can be discovered by newer containers.

So you might need to change things like:

 http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/tiles-config_1_1.dtd";>
or
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html-el";
prefix="html-el" %>

If you are not already pointing them at the version you want.  (Thanks
for the reminder... I'm using the nightly build but still pointing at
the 1.1 dtd's!)

Does that help?  If not, tell us what container and what version of
Struts you're coming from.

Download the binary distribution from Jakarta and unzip it.  Copy the
.jar and .xml files into your project directory.  Simple as that!

I have an Ant task that copies over the necessary files:

  
 

   

 
 

   

 
 

   

 
  

Set ${struts} to wherever you expanded the .zip/.tar.gz file you
downloaded from Jakarta.
${webinf} is the WEB-INF directory, and ${lib} is WEB-INF/lib.  (If
you're using an older container, you might also need the .tld files.)

Re: Nightly build 08052002: Tiles plugin and mapping.findForward

[Cedric Dumoulin]

  Hello,

  Your definition 'login' has an error:



  I think you would like to extends 'base', not to use it as a path ;-). 
If you specify a path, you should start it with a leading '/'.

   Hope this help,

Re: Nightly build 08052002: Tiles plugin and mapping.findForward

[matt_raible]

Basically, what I'm trying to do is use a DefaultAction to dispatch 
requests through an action to my definitions.  I'm experiencing some 
wierd behavior.  I have a Struts build from a couple nights ago.

When I request http://localhost/myApp/index.do, everything works 
fine - here's my log:

- Processing a 'GET' for path '/index'
Requested URI: '/roller/index.do'
Forwarding to: 'index'
processActionForward(index, false)
  'index' - processed as definition

But, when I request http://localhost/myApp/login.do, I get the 
following log and subsequent error:

LOG ---
- Processing a 'GET' for path '/login'
Requested URI: '/roller/login.do'
Forwarding to: 'login'
processActionForward(login, false)

definitionName = definitionName.substring(1, definitionName.indexOf

return new ActionForward(definitionName);

  Hi,

  You can test for a definition by asking the definition factory:

  DefinitionUtil.getDefinition( defName, servletRequest, servletContext ) ;
This return a ComponentDefinition, or throw NoSuchDefinitionException if 
not found.

  Hope this help,

Re: Nightly Build Problem

[Sandeep Takhar]

I think you need to be running tomcat 4.  Apparently
there are previous posts on this.  Someone pointed
this out to me as well.  It was a problem  with
3.2.x..

Sorry, but it escapes me as to what you should search
for in the archives...

 Yeah, I saw this in the README file that came with the distribution.

 This was not in the README file.

To summarize the documentation...
use jaxp.jar/parser.jar only if you use binary distribution. (these are only
parsers)
use Xalan if you are building from the source. (This includes XML parser and
XSLT Processor)

Here is what the installation doc says:

"XML Parser - Struts requires the presence of an XML parser that is compatible
with the Java API for XML Parsing (JAXP) specification, 1.0 or later. You can
download and install the JAXP reference implementation, which is required for
building the Struts source distribution. In Struts-based web applications, you
may replace the reference implementation classes with any other JAXP compliant
parser, such as Xerces. See detailed instructions related to the parser in the
instructions for building and installing Struts, below."

"Xalan XSLT Processor - If you are building Struts from the source distribution,
you must download and install version 1_2_D01 (or later) of the Xalan XSLT
processor (which also includes the Xerces XML parser). This processor is used to
convert the Struts documentation from its internal XML-based format into the
HTML that is presented in the Struts documentation application. "

Here's the URL http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/installation.html#Prerequisites

I'm running on milestone 5 release of Tomcat4.0.  I have been for a while.  No
problems.  I won't upgrade until official release comes out since I'm having no
problems.  It works great.  Don't let the fact that it implements the 2.3 API
stop you.  It still supports 2.2 stuff.  Not like the 2.1 to 2.2 change.  
BTW, Tomcat4.0 is kewl!  I really like the new logging.  It's also very stable.

Good luck.  Welcome to struts.
