What else must you do

There is a backport folder located in the j4 zip file.

Altenatively, you can find the backport files here:

• http://people.apache.org/builds/jakarta-struts/nightlies/2.0.x/java-1.4/backport/^{Image Added}

You must put these files contained in backport file into your WEB-INF/lib folder.

There is a translate.bat file located in the backport file. You can run the bat file to
convert your Java 5 jars into j4. In summary:

• I got the backport files from the nightlies which i copied to ... \WebContent\WEB-INF\lib
• Then i modified the translate.bat as follows:

java -jar retrotranslator-transformer-1.0.8.jar -srcjar struts2-core-2.0.1.jar -destjar struts2-core-j4-2.0.1.jar
java -jar retrotranslator-transformer-1.0.8.jar -srcjar struts2-api-2.0.1.jar -destjar struts2-api-j4-2.0.1.jar
java -jar retrotranslator-transformer-1.0.8.jar -srcjar xwork-2.0-beta-1 -destjar xwork-2.0-j4.jar

• invoke translate.bat
• It is important to note that you will have to replace the following jars mentioned above with java 1.4.x equivalents:
  struts2-core-2.0.1 with struts2-core-j4-2.0.1.jar
  struts2-api-2.0.1 with struts2-api-j4-2.0.1.jar
  xwork-2.0-beta-1 with xwork-2.0-j4.jar
