Non-initializing Struts Action Servlet, Digester and xercesImpl

[Hauknes Gudny <Gu...@comptel.com>]

Hi,
Referring to (FW: [jira] Commented: (MYFACES-1170) Application can not startif xercesImpl-2.7.1.jar is present and http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@myfaces.apache.org/msg12153.html

I wonder if anyone else had the problem described below:
Deploying a Struts 1.2.9 web application on Oracle 10gR2 iAS, WebSphere 5.1 and WebLogic (all servlet 2.3)using Struts v.1.2.8, Digester >= v.1.5 and Xerces > v.2.0.2 causes the ActionServlet not to initialize.

Reverting either Digester to < 1.5 or xercesImpl to < 2.0.2 respectively, removes the problem but is not a completely satisfactory solution.

We tried to download the nightly build of Digester from 2006-05-23, but the problem with non-initializing ActionServlet for Struts 1.2.8, XercesImpl-2.8.0 and and Digester still remains.
 
This is the exception trace:

Hi Gudny,

That XercesParser issue is not going to be fixed. The whole parser configuration stuff was a bad idea in the first place, and is basically impossible to get right at the Digester level. Instead, code should configure a parser however it wants and pass that parser in to the Digester.

So that means fixing whatever code is using Digester. It's not clear from your email whether that's Struts or Oracle.

In future, I recommend sending emails like this to the commons-user list, so that other people may also reply.

Regards,

Simon
