Hi Dave Hi all Finally i got it working the "spring"-way, meaning, when also delegating the instantiation of action classes to spring. The "default" way, meaning letting struts2 creating the action instances still doesn't work and i really don't understand why.
Thanks to everyone that help me getting it working! For anybody having similar problems and reading this post some day in the future in the archive: - include spring.jar. Struts2-core.jar, struts2-spring-plugin.jar, xwork.jar, ognl.jar, freemarker.jar and commons-logging.jar to your /WEB-INF/lib dir. - put web.xml under /WEB-INF. - put applicationContex.xml somewehere to your classpath. Same for struts.xml and if you need struts.properties (which is not needed as long as you set the required params in the struts.xml. This mainly refers to the setting of the object factory). - You can use the default.properties from struts2-core.jar as template for your own struts.properties (can by found unter org/apache/struts2/). Set struts.objectFactory = spring and struts.objectFactory.spring.autoWire = name. - Your basic web.xml would look like: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd";> <filter> <filter-name>struts2</filter-name> <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher</filter-class> </filter> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>struts2</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping> <listener> <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</liste ner-class> </listener> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> <context-param> <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name> <param-value>classpath*:applicationContext*.xml</param-value> </context-param> </web-app> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - Your applicationContext.xml could look like this. Note that you first have to define the business logic beans you later on need upon definition of the action class beans. Also make sure you understand, that in struts.xml you will have to define the action classes using their spring bean id and not there class names! In this case the injection works by defining a constructor argument. This could also be done using a setter method (than you would pass a property argument). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"; xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"; xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-2.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-2.0.xsd";> <bean id="businessService" class="com.example.businesslogic.BusinessService" /> <bean id="someAction" scope="prototype" class="com.example.SomeAction"> <constructor-arg ref="businessService" /> </bean> </beans> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - Your struts.properties would look like: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN" "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd";> <struts> <constant name="struts.objectFactory" value="spring" /> <constant name="struts.devMode" value="true" /> <package name="somePackageName" extends="struts-default"> <action name="login" method="login" class="someAction"> <result name="input">/login.jsp</result> <result name="success">/mainapplication.jsp</result> </action> <action name="logout" method="logout" class="someAction"> <result name="success">/login.jsp</result> </action> </package> </struts> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - I hope there's nothing wrong i wrote. Ohterwise plz feel free to correct/comment.
