http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31731 ClassCastException from ActionServlet.getRequestProcessor() ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-10-27 17:16 ------- Yes, that is what I'm talking about. BEA calls it "partial redeployment for web modules." Here's the link describing it: http://edocs.beasys.com/wls/docs81/deployment/concepts.html#1009282 The ClassCastException only happens while developing in Weblogic with exploded directories. So I would make a change to a struts-related class, such as an Action class, I compile it, then copy it to mydomain\applications\<app name>\web\WEB-INF\classes\com\intralinks... etc. Weblogic should pick that new class up and let me continue developing. That fails because Weblogic creates a new class loader to pick up my updated action--that class loader is different from the one that initially loaded the struts RequestProcessor and ActionServlet. Hence the ClassCastException when getting the RequestProcessor. The struts jar files are located in mydomain\applications\<app name>\web\WEB-INF\lib (and *not* in the Weblogic system classpath nor the EAR's classpath). If I understand the <prefer-web-inf-classes> option, it will chose classes loaded in the Web App over classes loaded in the EAR or System classpath. So if we had struts.jar in the web module classloader and application classloader, it would chose the classes in the web module. That is not the problem in this case, since the competing classloaders are both children of the web module's classloader. At least that's my understanding--that's why I don't think the prefer-web-inf-classes option will help. But I'll give it a shot and let you know how it goes. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
