AW: cannot find the datasource in struts?

take a look a the log file localhost_log.txt perhaps there is a startup failure when reading out the struts-config.xml file which prevents struts from loading the db correctly. verify also the classpath settings for the db jar files (mm.mysql-2.0.4-bin.jar and jdbc2_0-stdext.jar )

Ken, Are you subclassing ActionServlet solely to perform this conditional forwarding? If so I would recommend putting this logic into an Action subclass called something like ActionBase (instead of putting it in ActionServlet) and making your actions subclasses of your custom ActionBase

Re: pre-populate and request scope problem in struts.

RE: [Q] ActionServlet Forwarding

I agree with John. The conditional processing should be the Action class. For example, the action class goes to the database to retrieve some data and based on certain properties of the data you make decision to froward to a.jsp or b.jsp etc. The ActionServlet should be left alone in general.

Re: [Q] ActionServlet Forwarding

We extend ActionServlet to handle initiation or resources. Because it is always called first (process method), it also seems like a good place to handle logging onto the external resources we need. I noticed that ActionServlet has some finder methods to get the ActionForward and other

RE: iPlanet OT: Why do I have to add jars in WEB-INF/lib to my classpath?

Picking up these classes and jars for free is part of the Servlet 2.3 spec (which has still not been officially released). Tomcat 4.0 supports this spec, as does WebLogic 6.1. Many Servlet 2.2-compliant web servers (such as Tomcat 3.2.1 and WebLogic 5.1) create Servlet 2.3-like directory

Re: iPlanet OT: Why do I have to add jars in WEB-INF/lib to my classpath?

I should have read this one first. I think the problem is that you have the jar in the uncompressed war lib directory. I don't think iPlanet will automatically add these to the classpath. However, I think it will add any jars it expands during deployment with iasdeploy. Scott Wilson-Billing

It can, but it is the same issue as the indexed property. You would have to define each field. There isn't currently anything where you can specify 'name[x]' and have it match any index (name[0], name[1], etc.). Which is what you would probably want to do. David --- Shamdasani Nimmi-ANS004
