Ted Husted strut by strut tutorial in weblogic5.1/jbuilder
Hi I am just starting to learn about Struts and see how it can be used. I tried starting with Ted Husted's strut by strut tutorial. I have weblogic5.1 integrated with Jbuilder4 enterprise. I downloaded the struts-stub.war and edited my weblogic.properties file as follows weblogic.httpd.webApp.struts1=C:/Jakarta/struts_husted_tutorial/struts-stub. war upon restarting the server I tried going to the URL http://localhost:7001/struts1. It compiles the index jsp so it seems that the war file was deployed somewhat correctly but it cant find the needed classes. My weblogic.out log is posted below but the main error seems to be action: Error creating ActionForm instance of class 'ext.stub.samples.Form' java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ext.stub.samples.Form .I would manually add these classes to my jbuilder classpath if they were in some kind of jar (which I could go through the trouble of doing) but I want to know first if this should be neccessary every time I want to deploy a war file on weblogic?

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 . .

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)...

workaround for weblogic5.1 cast exception doesn´t work for HP-UNIX
We have no problems running Struts on out NT version of weblogic but despite all suggested fixes weblogic keeps throwing the class cast exception on out HP-UNIX version. To summarize: We did no put struts in the weblogic classpath. We did add to the web.xml the code to precompile JSPs We tried copying the .properties. We tried unzipping .war Is there some additional configuration needed for HP-UNIX? Thanks, Maarten __ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo! Mail. http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/
Re: workaround for weblogic5.1 cast exception
I forgot to mention another step that may be needed to
make 0.5 struts-example work with weblogic5.1:
If you call a *.jsp page before the ActionServlet
init() method ever gets called you will get the
following exception:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Missing
resources attribute
org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE at
org.apache.struts.taglib.MessageTag.doStartTag
(MessageTag.java:360)
at jsp_servlet._index._jspService(_index.java:82)
e.g. If you use the url "http://.../struts_example/"
you're web.xml has
welcome-file-list
welcome-fileindex.jsp/welcome-file
/welcome-file-list
This bypasses the ActionServlet calls the *.jsp
directly. But if ActionServlet.init() method has
never been called then it hasn't had a chance to
insert the ResourceBundle into servletContext.Now
when the jsp calls the MessageTag custom tag handler,
MessageTag tries to get the ResourceBundle from
the servletContext but it doesn't find it cause
its not there yet.To fix this just make sure the
ActionServlet gets called at least once.Either
when weblogic startsup or manually e.g.
if you've mapped the ActionServlet to be called for
a *.do file just use a url like
"http://../struts_example/x.do".
The example should now work correctly assuming you
have done the other two steps I mentioned before:
1) unjar the war file cause weblogic5.1 can't handle
resource bundles in *.war.
2) add the jps-precompile section to web.xml
param-nameweblogic.jsp.precompile/param-name
param-valuetrue/param-value
/context-param
This leads to a question I have:
How do you prevent people from bypassing your
ActionServlet and going directly to a *.jsp
without putting extra logic in the jsp.
E.g. I may not want people to bookmark a jsp
because I want security/authentication/session
management to be done in my central servlet.
It seems to me that I have to insert logic into
ALL my JSPs (e.g. by calling a bean) to make sure
that a person has logged in or has a valid
session. But I do not want to put
this logic in a jsp I want to handle it from a
central servlet. Is there a way to do this or am I
stuck putting the logic in each jsp ?

Struts on a WebLogic5.1 Cluster

RE: Struts on a WebLogic5.1 Cluster
Martin, Off the top of my head. If you are going to be relying on HttpSession failover and in-memory replication you have to call session.setAttribute(...,...) after changing any of the HttpSession objects. This pushes changes of a session object to a back up server. If you change an object in the HttpSession and do not call session.setAttribute( ) then when you failover to the backup machine the objects in the HttpSession object will be missing alot of the stuff you changed. If you are using database persistence then it does not matter because every call to getSession pulls all of the Ojects from the database and writes the changes when you are finished. This is also the reason database session persistence is 10 times slower than in-memory relication. I don't know if the Struts source code needs to take this into consideration. If you are using EJBs there are other things non-struts related that you will have to be aware of. --Abraham -Original Message- From: Martin Habermann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2001 1:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Struts on a WebLogic5.1 Cluster Hi, has anybody expiriences in running struts on a weblogic5.1 clustered environment.I would appreciate any hint or suggestion on that topic... _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
My fix for Weblogic5.1 and struts example
Having suffered through this problem this morning, here is what I added to my weblogic.properties file to successfully get the ActionServlet to initialize at the startup of Weblogic. this works like a charm and is way better than rewriting code? and browsing to a .do? Thanks for the help everyone gave me. = paste below into weblogic.properties === #setup struts control weblogic.httpd.register.ActionServlet=org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet weblogic.system.startupClass.StartMyServlet=weblogic.servlet.utils.ServletSt artup weblogic.system.startupArgs.StartMyServlet=servlet=ActionServlet
Re: WebLogic5.1
Is this a problem of weblogic and if so did any body report it to Bea already? --- Wong Kok Wai [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: WLS 5.1 SP 7 has been released and Struts example almost work of the box except the ApplicationResources.properties is not unjarred from the WAR lke the class files.
