I didn't use the struts examples to test out my setup. Instead I just provided my own little application, but it works. Just make sure the package names are consistent as I made changes to the sample codes below before I sending this out.
Installation and configuration 1. In VAJ, you will need to have the following projects present in your workspace Servlet API Classes Java Class Libraries IBM WebSphere Test Environment IBM Enterprise Extension Libraries IBM XML Parser for Java If any of the above is missing, · select File/Quick Start from the menu · select Features/Add Features from the popup window and select the project you need to import to your workspace 2. Download/install the following: Note: If you have projects in VAJ with the same name as the ones listed below, be sure to version them first. Then when importing the new packages, make sure you select option create new/scratch editions of versioned projects/packages Xerces from http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-j/ · the link is Xerces-J-bin.1.4.4.zip · extract Xerces.jar and import it in VAJava in the project XERCES Xalan from http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/index.html · the link is xalan-j_2_3_1-bin.zip · extract Xalan.jar and xml-apis.jar and import them in VAJava in the project XALAN Struts 1.1b binary from http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-struts/release/v1.1-b1/ · link is jakarta-struts-1.1-b1.zip Struts commons (binary) The latest commons libraries are in http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-commons/release/ Download all commons zip files and import these files to a COMMONS project in VAJava OR Open the binary distribution of STRUTS and extract all commons jar files and import them in the COMMONS project in VAJava. Struts 1.1b source from http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-struts/release/v1.1-b1/src/ · link is jakarta-struts-1.1-b1-src.zip · import the entire file to a STRUTS project in VAJava 1. Open jakarta-struts-1.1-b1.zip and extract the following files to e: \apps\program files\ibm\VisualAge for Java\ide\project resources\IBM WebSphere Test Environment\hosts\default_host\sample\WEB-INF\ · struts-*.tld · *.dtd · *.xml Note : the DTDs in this folder are for reference only. Struts uses an internal copy of the dtd's to validate the xml files. Installing the sample application 1. In the directory e:\apps\program files\ibm\VisualAge for Java\ide\project resources\IBM WebSphere Test Environment\hosts\default_host\sample\WEB-INF\, open the struts-config.xml file and replace the contents with the following code <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.1//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd";> <struts-config> <form-beans> <form-bean name="loginForm" type="com.struts.example.LoginForm" /> </form-beans> <action-mappings> <action path="/login" type="com.struts.example.LoginAction" name="loginForm" scope="request" input="/Login.jsp"> <forward name="success" path="/Welcome.jsp"/> </action> </action-mappings> </struts-config> 2. Open the web.xml file and replace the contents with the following code <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd";> <web-app> </web-app> Note : This file is basically an empty file but we still need to provide this because the ActionServlet still looks for it somehow. If it can't find the file, it throws a MalformedURLException exception. 3. In VAJ, create a project named STRUTS EXAMPLE. Create a text file outside of VAJ and name it ApplicationResources.properties then paste the codes below. Save the file then import it in the project that you just created (make sure you check the Resource box). error.missing.userid=<font color=red><b>Please enter a user id</b></font> error.missing.password=<font color=red><b>Please enter a password</b></font> prompt.login.user=<b>User Id :<b> prompt.login.password=<b>Password :<b> prompt.welcome.msg=<b>Welcome <b> 4. Open the sample.webapp file located in e:\apps\program files\ibm\VisualAge for Java\ide\project resources\IBM WebSphere Test Environment\hosts\default_host\sample\ and replace the contents with the following code <?xml version="1.0"?> <webapp> <name>sample</name> <description>sample Application</description> <error-page>/ErrorReporter</error-page> <servlet> <name>ErrorReporter</name> <description>Default error reporter servlet</description> <code>com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.DefaultErrorReporter</code> <servlet-path>/ErrorReporter</servlet-path> <autostart>true</autostart> </servlet> <servlet> <name>action</name> <description>Action Servlet</description> <code>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</code> <servlet-path>*.do</servlet-path> <autostart>true</autostart> <init-parameter> <name>application</name> <value>ApplicationResources</value> </init-parameter> <init-parameter> <name>config</name> <value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</value> </init-parameter> <init-parameter> <name>debug</name> <value>2</value> </init-parameter> <init-parameter> <name>detail</name> <value>2</value> </init-parameter> <init-parameter> <name>validate</name> <value>true</value> </init-parameter> </servlet> <servlet> <name>invoker</name> <description>Auto-registration servlet</description> <code>com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.InvokerServlet</code> <servlet-path>/servlet/*</servlet-path> <autostart>true</autostart> </servlet> <servlet> <name>jsp</name> <description>JSP support servlet</description> <code>com.ibm.ivj.jsp.jasper.runtime.JspDebugServlet</code> <init-parameter> <name>workingDir</name> <value>$server_root$/temp/default_app</value> </init-parameter> <init-parameter> <name>jspemEnabled</name> <value>true</value> </init-parameter> <init-parameter> <name>scratchdir</name> <value>$server_root$/temp/JSP1_1/default_app</value> </init-parameter> <init-parameter> <name>keepgenerated</name> <value>true</value> </init-parameter> <autostart>true</autostart> <servlet-path>*.jsp</servlet-path> </servlet> <servlet> <name>file</name> <description>File serving servlet</description> <code>com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.SimpleFileServlet</code> <servlet-path>/</servlet-path> <init-parameter> <name></name> <value></value> </init-parameter> <init-parameter> <name>default.page</name> <value>index.html</value> </init-parameter> <autostart>true</autostart> </servlet> </webapp> 5. In VAJ, create a project named STRUTS EXAMPLE and in it, create a package named com.struts.example then create a class named LoginForm and paste the following code in /** · Insert the type's description here. · Creation date: (1/8/02 1:09:46 PM) · @author: Administrator */ import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm; import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm; public class LoginForm extends org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm { private String userId; private String password; public String getUserId() { return userId; } public String getPassword() { return password; } public void setUserId(String userId) { this.userId = userId; } public void setPassword(String password) { this.password = password; } } 6. Create a class named LoginAction in the same package and paste the following code import org.apache.struts.action.Action; import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm; import org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors; import org.apache.struts.action.ActionError; import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward; import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping; import org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; import javax.servlet.ServletException; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.List; import java.io.*; public class LoginAction extends org.apache.struts.action.Action { public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException,ServletException { ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors(); try { LoginForm loginForm = (LoginForm) form; /* if (loginForm.getUserId().trim().equals("")) { ActionError error = new ActionError("error.missing.userid"); errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR,error); } if (loginForm.getPassword().trim().equals("")) { ActionError error = new ActionError("error.missing.password"); errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR,error); } if(errors.size() > 0) { saveErrors(request,errors); return new ActionForward(mapping.getInput()); } */ errors = loginForm.validate(mapping,request); if (!errors.empty()) { saveErrors(request, errors); return new ActionForward(mapping.getInput()); } return mapping.findForward("success"); } catch (Throwable e) { e.printStackTrace(); ActionError error = new ActionError(e.getMessage()); errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, error); } saveErrors(request, errors); return new ActionForward(mapping.getInput()); } } 7. In e:\apps\program files\ibm\VisualAge for Java\ide\project resources\IBM WebSphere Test Environment\hosts\default_host\sample\ , create a file named Login.jsp and paste the following code <%@taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %> <%@taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld " prefix="html" %> <%@taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld " prefix="logic" %> <logic:messagesPresent> <bean:message key="errors.header"/> <ul> <html:messages id="error"> <li><bean:write name="error"/></li> </html:messages> </ul><hr> </logic:messagesPresent> <html:form action="login.do" > <table border="1"> <tr> <td><bean:message key="prompt.login.user" /></td> <td><html:text property="userId" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><bean:message key="prompt.login.password" /></td> <td><html:password property="password" /></td> </tr> </table> <html:submit /> </html:form> 8. In the same folder, create a file named Welcome.jsp and paste the following code <%@taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %> <table width="100%" height="100%"> <tr> <td valign="center" align="center"> <h2><bean:message key="prompt.welcome.msg" /> <bean:write property ="userId" name="loginForm" /> </h2> </td> </tr> </table> 9. Just to make sure that you have the sample application correctly configure, make sure that the file default.servlet_engine located in e: \apps\program files\ibm\VisualAge for Java\ide\project resources\IBM WebSphere Test Environment\properties\ contains the following entry <websphere-webgroup name="sample"> <description>sample Webgroup</description> <document-root>$approot$</document-root> <classpath>$approot$</classpath> <root-uri>/sample</root-uri> <auto-reload enabled="true" polling-interval="3000"/> <shared-context>false</shared-context> </websphere-webgroup> 10. In the end, the sample directory structure should look something like this sample |_WEB-INF app.tld struts-bean.tld struts?config.xml struts-config_1_0.dtd struts-config_1_1.dtd struts-html.tld struts-logic.tld struts-nested.tld struts-template.tld tiles.tld tiles-config.dtd web.xml web-app_2_2.dtd web-app_2_3.dtd |_ classes Deploying and running the sample application 1. Bring up the WebSphere Test Environment then click on Edit Class Path. · click Select All · enter the following text in the extra classpath area E:\Apps\Program Files\Ibm\VisualAge for Java\ide\project_resources\IBM Webpshere Test Environment\hosts\default_host\sample\WEB-INF\classes; E:\Apps\Program Files\Ibm\VisualAge for Java\ide\project_resources\IBM Webpshere Test Environment\hosts\default_host\sample\WEB-INF\ · click OK 2. Start the servlet engine. 3. Once the servlet engine is started, · bring up a browser enter the following URL http://localhost:8080/sample/Login.jsp Struts Newsgroup (@Basebeans.com) <struts on 05/14/2002 02:55:01 AM Please respond to "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Re: VAJ 4 & Struts & Error 503 Subject: Re: VAJ 4 & Struts & Error 503 From: Marco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> === [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: > > This is a generic error put out by VAJ (actually WebSphere) when one > of your servlets in your app.webapp fails to load.
