Update on example app failure in WebLogic 5.1

After a little investigation, I think that the problem is that the
ActionServlet is never initialized.  ActionServlet is responsible for
putting resources into the page context.  Does this sound reasonable to
y'all?

Also, would it be possible to factor out ActionServlet's init
responsibilities into a class responsible for global Struts
initialization?  Then every class that depends on this kind of init
could ensure that it has happened.  Just a thought...

I believe that <load-on-startup> has been fixed via SP6.
I have not tested it myself.

Yes - weblogic does not honor load-on-startup, so the ActionServlet is
indeed not initialized. See below for a solution.

Please check the archive of this list for a WebLogic startup class
implementing (handling) load-on-startup and workarounds for some
other problems with WLS 5.1.

I like the way Struts handles initialization because it's fully J2EE-
compliant. WLS is causing the problems here.

Thanks, this seems to have it working.

Read back through the archives to see my posts regarding getting Struts to
work with Weblogic.  In particular, I posted a WebAppStartup class that can
be used to get Weblogic to load classes through the appropriate
classloaders, and properly initialize servlets requesting to be initialized
with loadOrder in web.xml.  See:
