I have been using appfuse 1.9.4 with webwork (and ibatis) and I have just

Below, I've updated Matt's webwork to struts2 migration instructions from

What doesn't work yet
=====================
Dojo
----
I am trying to do a trivial bit of dojo, that works outside appfuse, but
when
I try to use it in a jsp, I get the same old ".html is not a valid action
error" that has been seen previously:
See http://issues.appfuse.org/browse/APF-431 and
http://www.nabble.com/Changing-default-extension-from-*.html-to-*.---tf2307780s2369.html#a6415699
There are two possible ways to work around this (at least I think so - I
have done no 2 for SpringMVC, but have not yet tried struts):
1) Use the packages init parameter on the FilterDispatcher and include dojo
as a package. More details in the FilterDispatcher javadoc:
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/struts2-core/apidocs/org/apache/struts2/dispatcher/FilterDispatcher.html
2) Build a filter that forwards all requests not for dojo to the dispatcher
and set the dispatcher to only operate on forwarded requests. I have coded
an include/exclude filter that allows me to do this. Let me know if you are
interested in the code and I will post it up here. This method has the
advantage that you can code filters to only operate on active content,
thereby shortening the filter chain for static content.

[myapp] ERROR [http-80-Processor24] Dispatcher.serviceAction(338) | Could
not find action or result
There is no Action mapped for action name
lib/dojo/src/widget/templates/HtmlButtonTemplate. - [unknown location]
at
com.opensymphony.xwork2.DefaultActionProxy.<init>(DefaultActionProxy.java
:75)
at
org.apache.struts2.impl.StrutsActionProxy.<init>(StrutsActionProxy.java
:18)
I should add that I am using my own copy of dojo 0.4 and not the one that
is
integrated with struts2.
File-Upload
-----------
"ant test-all" works all the way up to the File-Upload cannoo web test
When I access the File-Upload page manually I get
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The default() is not defined in action
class com.myapp.webapp.action.FileUploadAction
at
com.opensymphony.xwork2.DefaultActionInvocation.invokeAction(
DefaultActionInvocation.java:363)
Anybody got any suggestions for either problem?
