Can't get definitions factory from context

[Former Member]

Hi

I am new user of NetWeaver and work with SAP NW WAS 6.40 SP11.

I am trying to deploy an example Struts 1.1 EAR archive in SAP J2EE Engine server with the Deploy Tool.

The EAR archive was created under IBM Webphere.

I am loading the ear file and deploy it without errors.

When I start my application I have got this error message :

<b>Application error occurred during the request procession.

Details: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Can't get definitions factory from context.</b>

Hello,

Today we have found the error.

In our WebSphere-Project we declared the WEB-INF-Path without the Backslash "WEB-INF\....." at the beginning of the string.

In Netweaver we must declare the WEB-INF-Path with the Backslash "\WEB-INF\....." at the beginning of the string.

A small error with a big effect Now the application can find the "..definitions factory from context....".

Am getting the same error.

can you please explain me the Backslash solution with an example.

Mira yo tenia el mismo problema con struts y tiles.

solution for me was this:

Setup the TilesPlugin in the struts-config.xml file:

<plug-in

className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin">

<set-property

property="definitions-config"

value="/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml"/>

</plug-in>

i hope help you

Hello Achim,

can you describe the structure of the EAR?

The library struts.jar should be located in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the web archive and the struts-config.xml in the directory WEB-INF.

Hello Juergen,

thanks for your answer.

I am new to Web AS and I am not very sure about how the ear file is deployed on this server. From what I understand on J2EE, the ear file structure is supposed to be like this:

<b>Ear</b>

-- WAR

--JAR(EJB)

--META-INF

--application.xml

<b>My War structure is like this:</b>

applicationName

--JSP

--image

-- other folders like scripts, styles, tiles(i am working on a struts application)

--WEB-INF

-- struts-config.xml

--web.xml

--classes

--application pacakage

--applicationresources.properties

--tld

--Contains the struts tld.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean <b><i>"...describe the structure of the EAR?</i></b>"

The library struts.jar is in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the web archive and the struts-config.xml is in the directory WEB-INF.

Best regards,

Achim
