Hi, I'm trying to run multiple war files, each representing a different version of the same Struts application, under the same JBoss webserver instance (i.e., application_v1.war and application_v2.war both in jboss\server\name\deploy). Because these are two versions of the same application, the action forms and action classes have the same names, as well as much overlapping, but not identical, code. Basically, I want to be able to have each successive application build running concurrently (under one JBoss instance) so the customer can easily compare the latest release with the previous ones to see the incremental changes.
In Struts 1.1, if a DynaActionForm in one version contains fields not present in the other, then it is impossible to load the webpage for the version containing extra fields. This is fixed in Struts 1.2.4. So that takes care of the action forms. However, I haven't been able to get around the action classes. Even in Struts 1.2.4, when two separate applications have actions with the same name, only one of these action classes is being used. Thus v2.war may be calling an action class from v1.war. In a simple test case, I was able to get it to work by changing the names of each Struts action class to include the build version, but this would be a lot of tedious work for a regular-sized application. Can anyone help explain what is going on here? Does anyone know a way around this? Is it even possible to do this with one webserver instance, or do I really need to run each application version in its own instance? Thanks for your help.
