=======================================================
Struts-config.xml, web.xml are perfectly alright.

Even i am able to execute same application In TOMCAT sucessfully.
Plz help me so that i can work it out with WEBLOGIC. I guess The RuleSet inetface has some problem.

Do reply me ASAP.
Thanks

Prasad,

The digester doesn't like the web.xml file, so I'd be interested to know upon which facts you based your decision that it is 'perfectly alright'.

Maybe you could post the web.xml file, so that we can determine where the problem lies?

Bob

Thanks Bob for ur inputs,

After alot of R&D i found the solution for this.It cannot be called as solution becoz i uninstalled the WLS8.1.2 & reinstalled it. Afetr that i deployed the same application.. and surprizingly it worked..

I astonised, really i tried to dig in it but i didn't find any reason for that...

Whats ur words on it.

Regards,
Prasad

I hate it when this kind of thing happens, because you never really know what went wrong so you're not sure if it'll come back at some point.

In the end though, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it - just get one with the next thing on your list.
