======================================
Does anybody knows what to do?
upgrading app from WL7.0, struts 1.1 to WL8.1 SP3, struts 1.2.4

Did not updrade log4j-1.2.6.jar( which is working with WL7.0)
[log4j-1.2.9.jar gave too many compilation error when tried to upgrade
to with new env.]

Thanks

What kind of compile errors were you getting with log4j 1.2.9? Struts
uses the commons logging API so log4j is not a mandatory component for
a struts app.

If I were you I would do the struts upgrade before upgrading weblogic.
(Eliminate as many variables as possible.)

Out of interest, what happens if you switch off the preload option in
web.xml?
