Hello Pierre,
Struts is "just" too big a project to stay among its siblings under the
Jakarta general project, which is why it is "on its own".
I have just installed Tomcat 5 for Java WSDP. Do I need this version to
make Struts development or can I use the regular 5.5 version too? I
have installed both.
If you use JBoss, there is an embedded version of Tomcat 5 with it. You
don't need anything else.
Also, I would like to know how can I have access to J2EE? I am on Mac
OS 10.4 and as I know I need JBoss to have access to J2EE.
If you use JBoss to do your work, that's fine : it works great. Just
don't forget to put your webapp in the
$JBOSS_DIR/server/{default,minimal,all}/deploy directory (either as a
WAR archive, or as a yourapp.war directory).
For instance, I use the "default" server, that leads to a path like :
C:\jboss\jboss-4.0.1\server\default\deploy\my_webapp.war
(I am currently using MS-Windows for my devs)
I have
installed JBoss on my machine too. But I don't understand how can I use
Tomcat, JBoss and Struts altogether. Can you help me?
Struts is a collection of Java packages that you must embed with your
web application.
You must understand how a J2EE application is built (which is a bit
beyond the scope of this mailing list, I think). Basically, this means
your application will have the following structure :
+---WEB-INF
| +-----classes
| +-----lib
|
|
+---META-INF
WEB-INF contains configuration files (such as web.xml, and
struts-config.xml), definition files (for instance the taglib definition
files), etc. ; its subdirectories contain the various compiled classes
(the "classes" directory ;-) ), and the various packages you hava to
embed with your application (for instance, struts.jar ;-) ).
Anyway, this little presentation is far from complete, and I suggest you
read some doc about J2EE applications before going further with struts
(java.sun.com is a good start).
