Hi All, My application is intermittently being initialized improperly. I am deploying multiple struts based app's into resin and am experiencing errors with several Struts tags being used. The application deploys fine 9/10 times and then blows up. When I inspect the logs I follow the initialization sequence and see the error. Basically resin receives a request for a new deployed web app and begins initializing it after all the <load-on-startup> servlets have been initialized, then resin initializes a some of its servlets for handling JSP requests and then processes the requested JSP resource. When my bug appears and I follow the initialization sequence I can see the problem. Resin initializes its servlet for handling JSP request and then processes the requested JSP resource, then it initializes my load sequence. So the requested JSP using Struts fails because Struts has not been initialized yet. If I wasn't using struts it would just fail in another class. I am sure this is a problem with resin and have read many! archives in there database regarding initialization issues and some with Struts but no resolution other than using the ServletContext<listener> witch will not work form my Struts components.
I have not seen any related Struts archives and am wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how it can be rectified? I am running Resin 2.12 and have configured a struts app to be initialized as follows in the web.xml. <!-- Database Initialization Servlet Configuration --> <servlet> <servlet-name>initializer</servlet-name> <servlet-class>com.wrappedapps.boutique.business.AppInitServlet</servlet-cla ss> <init-param> <param-name>debug</param-name> <param-value>1</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <!-- Standard Action Servlet Configuration --> <servlet> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.struts.tiles.ActionComponentServlet</servlet-class > <!-- Tiles definitions --> <init-param> <param-name>definitions-config</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/tiles/tiles-defs.xml</param-value> </init-param> <!-- Default struts application --> <init-param> <param-name>config</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value> </init-param> <!-- Struts sub-application --> <init-param> <param-name>config/ownersguide</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config-og.xml</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>debug</param-name> <param-value>0</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>detail</param-name> <param-value>0</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup> </servlet> Many thanks, Greg
