About the Migration guide

The intent of this page is to provide a list of issue/resolutions as encountered while migrating from Struts 2.0.x to 2.1.x. The ultimate aim is to have a proper migration guide, but as 2.1.x is still evolving, any of the issue/resolutions found in this page may become obsolete any time.
(lightbulb) Feel free to redraft material in this space! (That's why it's here!)

Migration issue/resolutions

The issues are listed in the same order as encountered after changing jars over from 2.0.x to 2.0.1. Noteworthy the migration was done under the following setup: Fedora core 6, JDK 1.6.0_2 and Tomcat 6.0.10 running from MyEclipse plugin.

Result type redirect-action is no longer supported, use redirect instead.

Problem Symptom:

SEVERE: Exception starting filter struts2

The struts.xml before:

<action name="ScheduleJob" class="com.sag.optimizer.ui.web.action.scheduler.ScheduleJobAction">
  <result name="success" type="redirect-action">
     <param name="actionName">ListDisplayOptimizationJobStatus</param>
  </result>		
  <result name="error" type="tiles">webui.requestFailed</result>
</action>

To resolve the issue modify the struts.xml action definition to:

<action name="ScheduleJob" class="com.sag.optimizer.ui.web.action.scheduler.ScheduleJobAction">
  <result name="success" type="redirect">ListDisplayOptimizationJobStatus.action</result>
  <result name="error" type="tiles">webui.requestFailed</result>
</action>

Tiles 2.1.x plugin tiles.xml requires DOCTYPE

Problem Symptom:

INFO: Initializing Tiles2 container. . .

The tiles.xml page before:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<tiles-definitions/>

To resolve the issue simply add:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC
	"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration 2.0//EN"
	"http://struts.apache.org/dtds/tiles-config_2_0.dtd">
<tiles-definitions/>

<s:head theme="ajax"/> is obsolete, ajax theme was moved into dojo plugin
