I don't know anything about ColdFusion, but here are some things to try:

Hi all
I am configuring a struts enabled web application using ColdFusion MX.
Please do not ignore this thread as it is ColdFusion, because I feel the
issue I have is a generic one and could happen in any J2EE servers. I have
already posted this in ColdFusion forum but I feel the issue has got to do
with struts. Also please do not suggest alternatives for ColdFusion,
because that is the only application server we have and I wanted to use
Struts. I followed this article about Struts on ColdFusion (
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/coldfusion/articles/struts.html).
After following all the configuration steps and I tried
http://localhost:8500/do/welcome, I get "503 null" error. But the CF
application server is running fine and it displays other pure ColdFusion
pages.
I am new to struts and I feel that there is a problem in loading the
ActionServlet. Following the error and configuration information, if you
need more information please let me know. I would highly appreciate your
help.
These are the error messages I found in the coldfusion log file:
Check you logs again and see if there are 'Root Cause' traces associated
with those, or any earlier stack traces that may be relevant. There's
nothing here to indicate why the action servlet is unabailable.
This is action-mapping excerpt of struts-config.xml:
Shouldn't matter, provided the file is well-formed and valid according
to the DTD. Try validating it in an XML-aware editor/IDE to make sure.
Following is the excerpt included in the web.xml file:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>debug</param-name>
<param-value>2</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>detail</param-name>
<param-value>2</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>application</param-name>
<param-value>ApplicationResources</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
Most of those init params aren't needed/used with Struts 1.3.5; they
come from a much older (1.0? 1.1?) version. They shouldn't hurt but, for
example, the resource bundle configuration will need to be moved into
your struts-config.xml once you get things up and running.
<!-- Standard Action Servlet Mapping -->
<servlet-mapping>

<url-pattern>/do/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<!-- Struts Tag Library Descriptors -->
<taglib>

</taglib>
What version of the Servlet spec does ColdFusion implement? Those taglib
entries shouldn't be necessary if CF is at all current in its servlet
support.
This is how I have configured and I am using ColdFusion MX 7.
1. Downloaded Struts 1.3.5 and placed all the struts jar files in
[CfusionMX/wwwroot]/WEB-INF/lib folder.
2. Downloaded Tomcat 4.1.34 and placed servlet.jar in
[CfusionMX/wwwroot]/WEB-INF/lib folder.
You shouldn't include servlet.jar in your web app; it's the container's
responsibility to provide that.
3. Downloaded Xalan-j 2.7.0 and placed xalan.jar in
[CfusionMX/wwwroot]/WEB-INF/lib folder.
4. Downloaded Xerces-j 2.9.0 and placed xercesImpl.jar in
[CfusionMX/wwwroot]/WEB-INF/lib folder.
What version of the JDK are you using? I doubt you need Xalan and
Xerces. If you're on JDK 1.4 or later, they may be conflicting with the
bundled JAXP implementation.
5. Placed struts-bean.tld, struts-html.tld, struts-logic.tld,
struts-nested.tld in [CfusionMX/wwwroot]/WEB-INF/tlds folder.
Again, unless CF implements an older version of the Servlet spec, you
shouldn't need these files. Including them shouldn't hurt, either, though.
6. Enabled session variables using J2EE.
7. Edited web.xml as required.
8. Placed struts-config.xml in [CfusionMX/wwwroot]/WEB-INF folder.
9. Placed *.cfm files in [CfusionMX/wwwroot]/cfm folder.
10. Compiled and jarred the package of all the java classes and placed the
jar file in [CfusionMX/wwwroot]/WEB-INF/lib folder.
11. Placed accounts.dat in [CfusionMX/wwwroot]/WEB-INF/classes folder.
Am I going wrong anywhere? Please help.
Try those suggestions and see if it helps. You might also want to look
for a more up-to-date howto article, since I suspect the one you're
following is quite out of date based on some of your configuration steps.
