This came up before a couple weeks ago. One of the things I pointed out then is the JSR154Filter available as part of Jetty 5. It simulates certain 2.4 features, including ServletRequestListener.
I'm not sure if it's a generic servlet filter, or if it's specific to jetty, but that'd probably be a good place to start looking. Won't do you any good if you're using portlets (no servlet filters), though. http://www.mortbay.org/javadoc/org/mortbay/jetty/servlet/JSR154Filter.html On 8/17/06, Joe Shevland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

WAS 5.1 seems to like swallowing exceptions in context listeners if thats where you're initializing things, so sometimes you need to dig down into arcane paths to get the log files it dumps to (activity.log). I'm using test environments in RAD (nasty, nasty tool), and it drops them deep in the RAD test env folder hierarchy. > > Is there any way that I can get my application to start up in the > container that supports only 2.3?

Not sure on these, I'm going to have a crack at the first issue and see if we can work around the view/controller bit. Cheers Joe
