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-name>weblogic.jsp.precompile</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
4. Make sure that the load order for the servlets defined in web.xml is set. IE:
<servlet>
.
. (other stuff here)
.
<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
Hope this helps,
Brett
