RE: Confusing error and other questions

Hi Scott,

 

this may or may not end up answering your question:

 

I remember seeing something similar when I was first trying to create my own Struts app. What happened was that, for some mysterious  reason, the struts-config.xml file was not getting read properly - although I never got a parse error or anything of that sort. I couldn't figure it out for my life, so I started off with the struts-config.xml from the struts-example app, and slowly added my modifications.

 

If you change the logging level in web.xml to show you all the messages that get shown when struts-config.xml gets read (I believe it's a parameter to the 'action' servlet that looks like this:

<init-param>
      <param-name>detail</param-name>
      <param-value>2</param-value>
</init-param>)

then you MIGHT notice that the messages that you normally see in the struts-example app do not appear when your app gets initialized (I'm talking of the messages of the sort:

Call org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping.addForward(ActionForward[failure])
Pop org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward
Call org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.addMapping(ActionMapping[path=/prepareNewFolderCreation)

So basically what I'm saying is that there's a possibility that struts-config.xml does not get read correctly, and you only find out about it later.

 

I hope that makes sense (and that it solves your problem.)

Hello Everyone,

 

I am working on an application that interacts with a database. When I try to run the app, I get an error (500) that tells me: javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot find ActionMappings or ActionFormBeans collection.

Can someone offer some insight? Also, I have added a datasource mapping in my struts-config.xml file for my database access. When I reference this in my bean, do I have to reference one of the attributes of the datasource tag(ex:driverclass), or do I simply do a call to

javax.sql.DataSource dataSource = (javax.sql.DataSource) getServletContext().getAttribute(Action.DATA_SOURCE_KEY);

Thanks in advance,

Scott Fitzgerald
