I started this process, but I have not taken it all the way. I think
the main issue is that with Struts 2.1.1 and Xwork 2.1.1 we have an
opportunity to change the Struts actions to be less Http dependent.
This is a good thing. Struts gives you access to the Request and
Response through interfaces like RequestAware or ServletRequestAware.
Using these in our actions means we won't have to use
ActionContext.getContext() to get what we need.
So far, I found the package name change in DateConverter.java to
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.conversion.TypeConversionException. I
also was able to get the tests to pass with an NPE by adding the
following to BaseActionTestCase to setup the Xwork context:
ConfigurationManager configurationManager = new
ConfigurationManager();
configurationManager.addContainerProvider(new
XWorkConfigurationProvider());
Configuration config = configurationManager.getConfiguration();
Container container = config.getContainer();
ValueStack stack =
container.getInstance(ValueStackFactory.class).createValueStack();
stack.getContext().put(ActionContext.CONTAINER, container);
ActionContext.setContext(new
ActionContext(stack.getContext()));
That fixed the NPE, but that is as far as I got. My ultimate plan was
to retool the Appfuse Struts actions to use the new Rest plugin and
remove all the xml, and then take it even further with example apps
for Facebook, etc! Let me know if you can start up your webapp once
you get the tests to pass. Also if you have a different NPE from the
dojo plugin, put the stacktrace up and we can work it out.

Hi all,
I am running into this problem when upgrading appfuse to use struts
2.1 and the dojo plugin:

Anybody knows of a quick-and-dirty workaround to solve this issue?
Thanks
