Using Struts2 OSGi plugin with GlassFish

Please seeing http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14200300/using-struts2-osgi-plugin-with-glassfish

• Struts 2.3.1 Tag

Note: I will firstly extend 2.3.1 as an experiment, then rebase such extending into struts trunk. As a convenient, I will upload structs 2.3.1(struts2 OSGi plugin's source is included in struts) into this repo

Noting: I changes xwork-core's com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.DomHelper class because my working env is behind a http proxy, so, once deploying demo and starting tomcat, tomcat will report “java.net.UnknownHostException: struts.apache.org”. So, I must disable xerces dtd validation1.

• Glassfish v4 Trunk

1. trunk url: https://svn.java.net/svn/glassfish~svn/trunk/main

2. building steps: https://wikis.oracle.com/display/GlassFish/FullBuildInstructions

• Struts2OSGi Demo

The demo is from http://code.google.com/p/class-reloading-test/

About detailed info about the demo, please seeing http://classreloadingwebapp.blogspot.gr/2012/04/class-reloading-4-using-struts2-osgi.html As a convenient, I will also upload the demo into this repo

• JDK 7

Because glassfish v4 trunk's building requires jdk 7, I must use jdk7

• Maven 3.0.4

• (Optional)Tomcat 7

You can use tomcat 7 to see whether Struts2OSGi demo works.

• 1 Building struts2-osgi-plugin

cd struts-2.3.1\plugins\osgi

mvn -DskipTests=true clean install

• 2 Glassfish deployment parameter setting

Please setting the following context-param in demo's web.xml,

param-name : StrutsOSGi_Platform

param-value : Glassfish

Noting: if deploying tomcat, the above setting is not required.

• 3 Demo building with glassfish

cd truts2-osgi-plugin-glassfish\Struts2OSGi-demo

mvn -P glassfish clean install

• 4 Deploy the demo under glassfish

asadmin start-domain domain1

asadmin deploy osgi-2.3.1.war

• 5 Access the demo

http://localhost:8080/osgi-2.3.1/osgi/admin/
