RE: JBuilder w/Struts Support
Found this at borland.public.jbuilder.ide newsgroup. After putting the two JARs in JBuilder5/lib/ext (from http://codecentral.borland.com/ as Struts Support Addin.) , you'll want to go to the Dependencies page and choose Include All for your Struts library. That will ensure that struts.jar is in WEB-INF/lib. One of the OpenTools prevents struts.jar from being on the webserver's classpath at runtime. The other OpenTool copies all *.tld files in WEB-INF to the WAR. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2001 12:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: JBuilder w/Struts Support Hi, just tried the steps below with JBuilder5/Struts1.0/Weblogic6: Omitted steps 7 8 step 10: the classpath from step 9 still included ...\struts.jar which I had to remove to make it run Thanks for your tips Markus -Original Message- From: Anthony Martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Mittwoch, 1.

RE: JBuilder w/Struts Support
When I get a moment, I'll re-write them to reflect the correct open tools steps, and update the rest to follow suit. However, if you do what my steps say, and incorrectly install the open tools as zip files like I show, it does work. I think this is partially due to the fact that JB5 opens the .zip and finds the /src directory and compiles it, but that's just a guess. The disadvantage is, you'll just have your .tld files in the wrong place and the struts.jar loaded in the context. But at least the project will build and deploy.
