i'm trying to get this feature to work, and i'm basically using past
discussions from this group as documentation since i couldn't find any on
the website.
from what i understand, using multiple struts config files seems pretty
damned simple. basically, if i wanted to use a struts config for a
sub-application named "subapp", i would create a struts-config-subapp.xml
and configure it as i would any normal struts config file, and i would add
the following lines to the web.xml in the struts servlet definition:
<init-param>
<param-name>config/subapp</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config-subapp.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
now, to access any actions in struts-config-subapp.xml, i just need to
prefix those action calls with "subapp". so.... if i have the "/actions"
mapped to struts as follows:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/actions/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
i would invoke an action from struts-config-subapp.xml as:
/actions/subapp/<action-mapping-name>
this is pretty straightforward, right? well i can't get it to work, and i
think i know why.
the configuration appears to be correctly parsed with the servlet init's.
my problem is invoking actions in anything other than the main struts-config
file.
ok, the first thing that touches my requests is ActionServlet, which hands
of the request to it's process() method. ActionServlet.process() infers
which ApplicationConfig to use, and then uses the appropriate
RequestProcessor. however, in my case, the appropriate RequestProcessor is
never found because RequestUtils.selectApplication() isn't finding the
correct ApplicationConfig. the problem is the first line of
RequestUtils.selectApplication(request, context):
String matchPath = request.getServletPath();
this always returns "/actions" (which doesn't map to any of the keys for any
of the application configs), and i think what it's supposed to return is
"/subapp". if i didn't have more faith in y'all, i'd say i just found a
bug, but instead i'm assuming that i've made some sort of mistake in my
understanding. (there's also the fact that this functionality appears to
have been in use by others for quite sometime --- also an indication that
i'm just an idiot.)
anyway, can someone either set me straight or back me up here? i've gone as
far as i can go on my own.
thanks,
ab
