Hi,
I decided to migrate a Struts-based application from Struts 2.3.x to
2.5.x. The application worked without problems with Struts version
2.3.29. After updating to 2.5.10, the application no longer seems to be
able to read a root-level resource file "package.properties": calling
getText("some.needed.property") results in an exception.
Since this problem did not happen with 2.3.29, I wonder if the 2.5.x
versions have introduced a fundamental change in how the resource files
are handled? I was not able to find such information in the 2.3 --> 2.5
migration guide.
The problem occurs in the constructor of a database connection manager
class that tries to retrieve database information (driver information,
database url, and so on) from package.properties. A rough sketch of the
class is something like:
public class DbConnectionManager extends ActionSupport
{
private DbConnectionManager()
{
String driverNames = getText("database.drivers"); // This throws
an exception in 2.5.10, but was ok in 2.3.29.
...
}
}
I suppose this problem could have something to do with the fact that
this is a singleton class that is initialized only once during the
lifetime of the application? If this is the case, then what would a
simple way to fix the problem? A related question would be: how should I
access resource files from a non-action context (e.g. read resources in
static initialization), if ActionSupport no longer permits it?
