Problem in websphere Struts / Server config

[Paul Ramsay]

All,

When I try to enable the administration console within my server settings using WSAD 5.0 I get the follwing error message -

Anybody know how to sort it out ?

[Merrill Higginson]

As I see it, the significant part of this error message is:

Input/output error reading configuration from resource path /WEB-INF/struts-config.xml


To me, this would indicate that WebSphere can't find /WEB-INF/struts-config.xml. Are you sure it's there? If it is there, perhaps it's corrupted in some way. I'd try going into an editor, making an insignificant change, and saving it.

[alan do]

you app cannot be loaded because the ActionServlet failed to initialize due to the unavailability of the struts-config.xml. check if that file exists and is in the correct location (WEB-INF) and that your web.xml has the correct reference for the servlet (action) config init-param to the struts-config.xml (the 'config' param should be 'WEB-INF/struts-config.xml').
