Hi guys, Struts and orion don't seem to be good friends. After looking in the archive I found some links telling me how to patch struts so it works with orion. The solution I use is simply unpack the jar file in the classes directory (during the build fase). However that doesn't solve the problem you get as soon as you define your own actions and forms. As soon as you want to access one of your actions/forms, you get the following error in your application.log: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.fredhopper.admin.control.web.action.ItemsAction at com.evermind[Orion/1.4.8 (build 10374)]._ed.findClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:297) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:253) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:313) at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:120) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.processActionCreate(ActionServlet.java:1470) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1421) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doGet(ActionServlet.java:463) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:195) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:309) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:336) at com.evermind[Orion/1.4.8 (build 10374)]._iib._vfd(Unknown Source) at com.evermind[Orion/1.4.8 (build 10374)]._iib._qjc(Unknown Source) at com.evermind[Orion/1.4.8 (build 10374)]._kj._qbc(Unknown Source) at com.evermind[Orion/1.4.8 (build 10374)]._kj._oa(Unknown Source) at com.evermind[Orion/1.4.8 (build 10374)]._jw.run(Unknown Source) The classloader can't find any of your defined actions/forms. However Orion/1.3.8 didn't have this problem (and J2EE doesn't have it as well). I created a small test application which can be downloaded from our website: www.fredhopper.com/struts-example.tgz To get it running: 1) unpack it 2) set the J2EE_HOME variable 3) go to the struts-test/src directory 3) run ./build.sh This creates a test.ear which you can deploy on orion. Does anyone have similar problems with struts and does somebody have a solution? If there are any questions regarding the struts-example please don't hesitate to ask.
