Error migrating struts application from 5.x to 6.x WAS

[fras...@hotmail.com]

I am using Websphere Test Server 5.x that comes with RAD6.0 and able to run my application successfully with this setting.

We need to move to WAS6.x runtime and am trying to start my web application in Websphere 6.x that comes with RAD 6.0. I get following error when I bring up struts based web application. Has anyone faced this issue before or can anyone help me ?

Hi,

You need to modify the files struts-config.xml and web.xml and put "/"
at the beginning of the resources.

Also, you can add a parameter in the application server to solve this
problems.

Dani

Did you find an answer to this problem?

Could you please show an example of what exact changes need to be made in struts.tld and web.xml?

Could you please also give example of what exact parameter need to be added in WAS 6.1 test server, instead of making changes in both web.xml and struts.tld?

Regards

I',m also getting the same issue. Please let me know if any solution/suggestions.

Thanks.

Hi, Since there are several different versions of Struts out and the standards supported under WebSphere v6.1 have changed since WebSphere v5.x, make sure you have included all the necessary Struts libraries in your war and have set the classloader to parent last.
