I have an old application written using Struts 1.1 that has a subclass of
ActionServlet which overrides the init() method to load data from some XML
files. It works fine w/ Struts 1.1. I haven't touched it for years but now
need to do some work on it. My current Netbeans environment has Struts 1.2.9
and I figured I would just update it to the newer version but for the life of
me I can't get the system to call the init() method. I have the subclass
listed as the action servlet in web.xml (snippet below) and I can break in the
doGet and doPost methods so the servlet is definitely being used as the
ActionServlet in the application. Why isn't it calling the init() and/or
init(ServletConfig config) methods?
<servlet>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>TimeClockServlet2.TimeClockActionServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>debug</param-name>
<param-value>2</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>detail</param-name>
<param-value>2</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Warm Regards,
Dave
