Re: [Struts-Chain] Exception loading resources chain-config.xml

[Joe Germuska]

Here's one which works in my application:
  <plug-in 
className="org.apache.struts.chain.legacy.CatalogConfiguratorPlugIn">
    <set-property property="path" value="/WEB-INF/chain-config.xml" />
  </plug-in>

If the "path" property is set, then the file is 
sought in the servlet context.  It sounds as 
though you've tried this, but thought I'd give 
you an example anyway.

if the "resource" property is set, then the file 
is sought on the classpath, and if it's in the 
root of a JAR or WEB-INF/classes, I'd think this 
would work:

 >   <plug-in
 >
className="org.apache.struts.chain.legacy.CatalogConfiguratorPlugIn">
     <set-property property="resource"
 value="chain-config.xml"/>
   </plug-in>
Technically, "resource" is evaluated first.
Is it possible to catch the exception and call 
ex.getRootCause() ?  Perhaps you could write a 
very simple subclass of CatalogConfiguratorPlugIn 
which just catches the exception and inspects the 
root cause?  Maybe it's a parsing error or 
something instead of a file-not-found problem?

btw, I have also tried the config with the "property"

<set-property property="path"...

 Hi,
 I cannot seem to load the struts-chain config
 properly.  I have tried packaging it in the root
 directory of my jar, placing it in /WEB-INF/classes,
 and just in plain old WEB-INF...but to no avail.  I
 keep getting an servletexception thrown at
org.apache.struts.chain.legacy.CatalogConfiguratorPlugIn.init(CatalogConfiguratorPlugIn.java:147)
   I have tried the following:
   <plug-in
className="org.apache.struts.chain.legacy.CatalogConfiguratorPlugIn">
     <set-property property="resource"
 value="/chain-config.xml"/>
   </plug-in>

   <plug-in
className="org.apache.struts.chain.legacy.CatalogConfiguratorPlugIn">
     <set-property property="resource"
 value="WEB-INF/chain-config.xml"/>
   </plug-in>
 Thanks in advance,
 Julian
