Is Struts 1.3 supported by WebSphere Application Server 6.1.0.21

[sushan.bhatt...@siemens.com]

Hello All,

I need help on identifying whether applications developed on struts 1.3 or struts 1.0 are supported by WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment 6.1.0.21 ?

WAS 6.1 infocenter mentions that WAS 6.1 works with struts 1.1. But nowhere it is mentioned whether previous version of struts i.e. 1.0 or higher versions like 1.3 are supported or not.

Thanks in advance,

Sushan

yes it's supported

Thanks for the answer. But, does it supports struts 1.0 too? My application is on struts 1.0. Do I need to upgrade it to higher version say 1.3?

I believe that Struts 1.3 is supported, as Struts 2 is supported, Some
issues around authentication, so please see

I got following update from IBM:

WAS 6.1 supports Servlet Specification 2.4. so struts 1.0 to 2.0 should run on WebSphere
6.1. If a problem is found in the WebSphere implementation of the Servlet Specification which prevents struts from running, that would be a bug in WebSphere.

As for migration of a struts application from Struts 1.0. to 1.3 and
2.0, that is not a WebSphere question. There are no special steps you have take in WebSphere configuration.

One thing I forgot to mention earlier is that if you move to struts 2.0, you will need PK77465:

The description in the link above doesn't say anything about struts; we discovered later that struts needs that fix if being used with security.
