http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13686 Struts 1.1 Beta 2 and Iplanet Web Server 6 Summary: Struts 1.1 Beta 2 and Iplanet Web Server 6 Product: Struts Version: 1.1 Beta 2 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: Other Component: Controller AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Struts 1.1 Beta 2 does not seem to work under Iplanet 6. I tried running the Struts 1.1 example and blank web apps with Iplanet SP1, SP2, and SP4 ( which is the latest), with JDK 1.3.1_01 and 1.3.1_05 with no success. I deployed the blank application and example application and they all came back with the same problem. Eventually I got it working but I had to modify some of the struts code. I have included what I had to do in the bug report, and the lines of code that are causing the problem. The following are the problems I encountered with the blank application with Iplanet 6 SP4, and JDK 1.3.1_05, running on a Windows XP machine ( also on Windows NT). Note that I have no problems running the 1.0.2 struts examples on the same machine. In order to reproduce these problem simply install Iplanet 6 SP4 and deploy the blank application to it. Nothing else required. The first problem encountered is the commons-logging.jar problem. To solve this under Iplanet 6 you must use the commons-logging.jar library version 1.0.2. None of the other versions seem to work, they all come back with Null pointer Exceptions ( even if you configure logging as per the documentation ) : Internal error: Unexpected error condition thrown (unknown exception,no description), stack: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.getFactory(LogFactory.java:326) at org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.getLog(LogFactory.java:375) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.<clinit>(ActionServlet.java:375) at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.newInstance (Class.java:232) at com.iplanet.server.http.servlet.WServletEntity.loadAndInitServlet (WServletEntity.java:71) at com.iplanet.server.http.servlet.WebApplication.init(WebApplication.java:315) at com.iplanet.server.http.servlet.VirtualServer.init (VirtualServer.java:181) at com.iplanet.server.http.servlet.NSServletRunner.VSInit (NSServletRunner.java:686) The distribution should be updated with commons-logging.jar version 1.0.2. After you use commons-logging.jar 1.0.2 you get the following error when trying to access the index.jsp page in the blank application: [15/Oct/2002:16:09:02] failure ( 3408): Internal error: servlet service function had thrown ServletException (uri=/blank11/pages/Welcome.jsp): javax.servlet.ServletException, stack: javax.servlet.ServletException at org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.handlePageException (PageContextImpl.java:453) at _jsps._pages._Welcome_jsp._jspService (_Welcome_jsp.java:226) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service (HttpJspBase.java:119) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service (HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.service (JspServlet.java:248) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.access$6 (JspServlet.java:238) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile (JspServlet.java:519) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service (JspServlet.java:588) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service (HttpServlet.java:853) at com.iplanet.server.http.servlet.NSServletRunner.invokeServletService (NSServletRunner.java:897) at com.iplanet.server.http.servlet.WebApplication.service (WebApplication.java:1059) at com.iplanet.server.http.servlet.NSServletRunner.ServiceWebApp (NSServletRunner.java:959) at com.iplanet.server.http.servlet.NSServletSession.internalRedirect(Native Method) at com.iplanet.server.http.servlet.NSRequestDispatcher.forward (NSRequestDispatcher.java:48) at org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction.execute(ForwardAction.java:158) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processActionPerform (RequestProcessor.java:446) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process(RequestProcessor.java:266) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1292) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doGet(ActionServlet.java:492) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:740) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at com.iplanet.server.http.servlet.NSServletRunner.invokeServletService (NSServletRunner.java:897) at com.iplanet.server.http.servlet.WebApplication.service (WebApplication.java:1059) at com.iplanet.server.http.servlet.NSServletRunner.ServiceWebApp (NSServletRunner.java:959) , root cause: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException at org.apache.struts.taglib.bean.MessageTag.doStartTag(MessageTag.java:298) at _jsps._pages._Welcome_jsp._jspService(_Welcome_jsp.java:89) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:119) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.service (JspServlet.java:248) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.access$6 (JspServlet.java:238) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile (JspServlet.java:519) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service (JspServlet.java:588) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service (HttpServlet.java:853) at com.iplanet.server.http.servlet.NSServletRunner.invokeServletService (NSServletRunner.java:897) at com.iplanet.server.http.servlet.WebApplication.service (WebApplication.java:1059) at com.iplanet.server.http.servlet.NSServletRunner.ServiceWebApp (NSServletRunner.java:959) at com.iplanet.server.http.servlet.NSServletSession.internalRedirect(Native Method) at com.iplanet.server.http.servlet.NSRequestDispatcher.forward (NSRequestDispatcher.java:48) at org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction.execute(ForwardAction.java:158) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processActionPerform (RequestProcessor.java:446) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process(RequestProcessor.java:266) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1292) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doGet(ActionServlet.java:492) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:740) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at com.iplanet.server.http.servlet.NSServletRunner.invokeServletService (NSServletRunner.java:897) at com.iplanet.server.http.servlet.WebApplication.service (WebApplication.java:1059) at com.

After changing the struts-config.xml file to have <message-resources parameter="resources.application" null="false"/> I did not get the error but I got te following web page : ???en_AU.welcome.heading??? ???en_AU.welcome.message??? Which confirmed that the web app is not able to load the properties file. I tried the following things with no success: 1. Put the web-inf/classes/resources/application.properties on the JVM classpath. 2. move application.properties one level up to web-inf/classes in case the classloader did not like being in resources ( modify struts-config.xml at the same time of course). 3. Put application.properties in a jar file and put it in the web-inf/lib directory. 4. I noticed that the struts.jar file had a classpath defined in the manifest. I removed the classpath out of the manifest in case it was confusing the classloader. 5. etc...... I downloaded a copy of the source and had a look at the code. The problem had to be in org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources, since it was the one locating the properties file and loading the messages. Since the 1.0.2 examples and applications work fine I downloaded the 1.0.2 source code. The loadLocale method was different between the two versions. The 1.1 beta2 source was loading the properties file as follows: try { if (log.isTraceEnabled()) { log.trace(" Loading resource '" + name + "'"); } ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); if (classLoader == null) { classLoader = this.getClass().getClassLoader(); } is = classLoader.getResourceAsStream(name); if (is != null) { props.load(is); is.close(); } if (log.isTraceEnabled()) { log.trace(" Loading resource completed"); } } catch (Throwable t) { log.error("loadLocale()", t); if (is != null) { try { is.close(); } catch (Throwable u) { ; } } } The 1.0.2 loadLocale method did as follows: // Load the specified property resource try { is = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(name); if (is != null) { props.load(is); is.close(); } } catch (Throwable t) { if (is != null) { try { is.close(); } catch (Throwable u) { ; } } } The difference being ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); I modified the Struts 1.1 PropertyMessageResources class to work the same as the 1.0.2 version and deployed the new struts jar file. The blank application worked fine with no problems. It seems that the Thread.currentThread ().getContextClassLoader(); call does not work well under Iplanet 6. What is the reason for using the different call in 1.1. Could we change Struts 1.1 to work under Iplanet 6, by removing the Thread.currentThread ().getContextClassLoader(); line. Has anybody got this working under Iplanet Web Server 6 without doing what I had to do? We are using struts 1.0.2 for a few applications and would like to upgrade to 1.1 when it is available. Basically unless this is fixed no struts application will work under Iplanet Web Server 6.
