struts1.0 to 1.1 porting issue on Websphere5.1

[unni krishna]

hi all,

Our existing struts 1.0 application runs on Websphere5.1 on AIX platform.
We are trying to upgrade this to use struts 1.1. For this, i made the following changes,

1. changed the struts.jar in WEB-INF/lib folder to struts-1.1.jar
2. changed the struts-config.xml DOCTYPE to struts-config_1_1.dtd
3. replaced tlds with new versions from struts-1.1 package.

and restarted the application. Now what happens is, all the servlets initializes and then just destroys by itself without showing any error or exception. Then again the servlets initializes by itself and destroys after that. This initialization and destruction is going on in a loop.

We tried to run this same application on windows platform and its running fine.

Has anybody faced such a problem. Please help me out.

thanks in advance,

unni.

we sloved the issue at last. We just rearranged some entries in web.xml and it started working fine. There was nothing wrong with the web.xml file, but there was something which the server doesnt like . Websphere is a crazy server, doesnt tell give any proper error messages.
