Problem in EAR deployment in WAS 6.1

[rajiv gupta]

I have an application that is working fine in WAS 5.1.
But when I tried to deploy it in WAS 6.1, it is giving the following error :

[6/9/08 13:15:18:096 IST] 00001359 ServletWrappe I SRVE0242I: [MIntel] [/MIntel] [startServlet]: Initialization successful.

Hi,

I would suggest you to raise a PMR with IBM. It seems like WAS 6.1 has some problem with backward compatibility. I had similar problem of not being able to deploy an EAR file after installing EJB3 feature pack on WAS 6.1.0.15. I'm still following it up with IBM and hoping to get some resolution.

Best regards,
Chandra.

It looks that application is not picking up struts config file path.
I was also getting the same error but when I gave the proper struts config file path, application came up fine.

This is not working in WAS6.1.0
<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>

Correct the path

<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>

Now it should work.
