Can you not call the older application under a different context. i.e. if your main application is called from http://www.domain.com/application then maybe you could set the older application to deploy under http://www.domain.com/old_application. Wouldn't that ensure that the two applications are deployed in completely different "sandboxes". I think this would be done in web.xml file.
Also, you could deploy them all and then look at the applications, including the older ones at the same time. You wouldn't have to keep undeploying and then redeploying. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Bischoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 2:43 PM To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: Problem deploying older versions of my WAR in struts project Hello. Let me apologize in advance if this is really a jboss or tomcat problem, but as I am only getting Struts error messages, this seemed the place to ask. I have a fairly simple struts application which I generally deploy to JBoss in a .war file. I have archived these files over the course of weeks and months. Now I am trying to deploy these older versions, in order to see what the website looked like several weeks ago. My problem is that some of the newer JSP files seem to be surviving the redeployments, and cause the older site to crash. Specifically, I have a main menu JSP which is included in most of my other pages via <jsp:include>. The latest version of this menu JSP has links to several ActionForwards that did not previously exist. When I deploy an older version of the website, it dies on the first page accessed that includes the main menu, throwing an exception like: javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot create rewrite URL: java.net.MalformedURLException: Cannot retrieve ActionForward named Preferences Where 'Preferences' is the name of the left-most (top-most) linked ActionForward that did not exist at the time that the particular .war file was made. Is there some problem in JBoss/Tomcat not clearing all temporary files when an application is undeployed? Has anyone else had trouble reverting to an older version of a struts project? Any help or suggestions of where to look would be appreciated. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
