             Summary: Convention plugin doesn't find any Action classes in EAR deployment on Weblogic 10 and 12
                 Key: WW-4055
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4055
             Project: Struts 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Plugin - Convention
    Affects Versions: 2.3.14
            Reporter: Stefan Reich


The weblogic container versions 10, 11 and 12 has a peculiar way of deploying ear and war files. 
It unpacks the ear and war file, and jars up the contents of WEB-INF classes into a new file: WEB-INF/lib/_wl_cls_gen.jar. After that, all content from WEB-INF/classes is deleted.

The consequence is that the classloader will return a URL to the WEB-INF/classes directory when the plugin is searching for annotated classes, but it will be empty, so this plugin would never find any Action classes.

I have a patch that has been verified to work on Weblogic 10 and 12.
