Celeste, Do you happen to have the bug report that was filed in the Apache bug database? I tried looking for it and I'm not able to see it.
Thanks Eric -----Original Message----- From: Haseltine, Celeste [mailto:CHaseltine@;magticket.com] Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 5:26 PM To: JRun-Talk Subject: RE: Steps necessary to get JRUN 3.1 working with Struts 1.1b2 Eric, There was a bug noted in the Struts bug database that stated in order to get Struts 1.1b2 working with JRUN 3.1, a change was required in the Struts code (and a recompile) to get JRUN to properly pre-load the action class. This was noted in the bug database as a "problem" in the JRUN container, and that this was forwarded to JRUN support, since this change in the Struts code was a work around. Just to verify, we are talking about Struts 1.1b2, NOT Struts 1.02? I've been trying for over two weeks to get Struts 1.1b2 working in JRUN 3.1, with no success. I posted on both the Macromedia and Struts listservers, and had a number of people tell me that they had also tried, and had given up. Up until today, no one with Macromedia had even responded to my or other user's request for assistance on this issue in the JRUN forums, and this issue goes back several months. After you deploy any of the Struts 1.1b2 example apps from within the JRUN 3.1 management console, the first error you get when you attempt to run the program (after restarting JRUN) is the one regarding JRUN being unable to pre-load the action servlet. I had not tried moving the struts.jar file from the lib directory. But even then, does this not go against the servlet container standard, where all external jar files are required to be in the WEB-INF/lib directory, which is suppose to be on the classpath by default? Why can't JRUN 3.1 pre-load the action servlet from the struts1.1b2.jar file from within the WEB-INF/lib subdirectory, as it could from the struts1.02.jar file? If JRUN 3.1 is requiring the Struts 1.1b2 jar file to be located in the classes subdirectory, and then adding that subdirectory into the JRUN properties file in order to get it to work properly, then in my opinion, something is NOT working right with the pre-loading of the action class within JRUN 3.1 for Struts 1.1b2. One last question, did you need to modify the struts-config.xml file or the web.xml file, in order for JRUN to find the ApplicationResources.properties file. Once I got the pre-loading of the servlet working, I then discovered that JRUN could not find the ApplicationResources.properties file in the classes subdirectory. Again, I did not think about adding the classes subdirectory to the JRUN global classpath, as the struts-config.xml and web.xml file are both suppose to tell JRUN where to find this properties file. I just find it interesting that JRUN 3.1 and Struts 1.02 does NOT have a pre-loading issue with the action class, yet JRUN 3.1 and Struts 1.1b2 DOES have a pre-loading issue with the action class. I would be interested in knowing if you guys plan on addressing this in JRUN 3.1 in a future bug fix, or if the user community for JRUN 3.1 is stuck either staying with Struts 1.02, or doing "creative" workarounds which, in my opinion, fly in the face of the standards. Either way, thank you for responding to this issue.

Nevertheless, I'm not sure what you mean by "not working as it should." I can get the Struts example application to work by adding the struts.jar to the WEB-INF/classes directory and then explicitly adding the WEB-INF/classes directory to the jrun.classpath in the global.properties or local.properties.

Anyone from Macromedia want to provide a comment/feedback on this issue of Struts 1.1b2 in JRUN 3.1??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=8 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=8 Get the JRun Web Application Construction Kit - the only book written specifically for JRun developers. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0789726009/houseoffusion
