Struts woes

[st...@henrik.synth.no]

Hi.

I am upgrading from Struts 2.0.11 to 2.1.6, which mostly works as it 
should thanks to the migration guide [1].  A couple of things elude me, 
though:

1) I am not able to get fetch static files from dojo.  They are supposed 
to be in the classpath per default [2],  but the 
/struts/dojo/struts_dojo.js path only gives me a 404.  These files are 
in the struts2-dojo-plugin jar, and the jar is included in my War (under 
WEB-INF/lib/)

2) I also get NullPointers in 
com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.TextParseUtil.java (155) and 
com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.LocalizedTextUtil.findText (318) when 
accessing certain pages.  It seems that it's unable to fetch the strings 
in under WEB-INF/classes/my/app/package.properties

Best regards,
Henrik

Solved:  I "forgot" that I have Apache/mod_jk in front of my application 
server.  Thus I had to add a JkMount for /struts/*.

Solved: @VisitorFieldValidator(message = "") gives a NullPointer in 
Struts 2.1.  More info at
