struts2 migration

[kal stevens]

My company has migrated from struts1 to struts2, and we have had a few
continual problems that we can not figure out how to deal with.

First when we redeploy our application we have to remove everything in the
work/Catalina directory, or the application may not be redeployed correctly.

we have tried both a symbolic link from the webapps directory to a war file,
and from the webapps directory to an exploded directory.

Can someone point me to any information on how to fix this?  or what might
be causing the issue.

Another issue is that when someone types in a bogus url we get an entry in
the log4j logging

So if someone types in www.example.com/member/visitors.do

we get

2008-05-05 17:23:31,898 ERROR [Dispatcher] Could not find action or result
There is no Action mapped for namespace /member and action name visitors. -
[unknown location]


Is there a recommended way of dealing with this?
My boss wants no errors in the logfile.

Struts2 leaves some threadlocals active that prevent it from shutting
down cleanly.
There is no fix in 2.0.11.x.  There is a fix in 2.1.x.

https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2167


If there is a 2.0.12 release I'd vote for this 'fix' to be applied.

Change the setting for log4j.  Set the logging level for
org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.Dispatcher to none.

We  use EL/JSP in some of our pages,  and I have been told by a coworker
that after 2.0.9 EL is disabled.
So moving would be difficult, unless there is some way to re-enable it?
What is the standard way of referencing variables.

My boss prefers that I not disable errors, is there a way to disable it for

log4j.rootLogger=ERROR, file1

and enable it for another file?  When I tried this, I got a "Duplicate
property key" error.

log4j.logger.org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.Dispatcher=OFF,file1
log4j.logger.org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.Dispatcher=WARN,struts

EL expressions are disabled within the attributes of struts2 tags.
EL can use used elsewhere on the page.
The OGNL used by struts tags can reference variables in the page
context, request, session, application, action or valuestack, so in
almost all cases there's a reasonable way to reference the same variable
in EL and OGNL (see the #attr OGNL expression)

Sorry, you'll need to check the documentation for log4j.  Yes, it's
should be possible.
