I want to use tiles and jasper plugins with struts2 in my web application but I am getting error while deploying the application. After doing Google I found that there is plugins version miss match in my application.

When I use struts2 2.2.3 and jasper plugin , it not worked. But when I have used struts2 2.1.8 and jasper its works fine. then I decided to use integrate tiles with struts 2.1.8 and got error at deploying time

SEVERE: ContainerBase.addChild: start: 
org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: javax.servlet.ServletException: com.sun.enterprise.container.common.spi.util.InjectionException: Error creating managed object for class: class org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsTilesListener

  • What do you mean, which versions of the plugins? The same version as Struts 2. – Dave Newton Jun 16 '12 at 12:20
  • sir, to work with tiles and jasper some additional jar files(plugins) are needed. I am asking the version of those plugins. And these versions of plugins are vary with the variation in struts2 version. so i need to know the versions of tiles and jasper that are compatible with struts2 2.2.3 – Abhishek Aggarwal Jun 16 '12 at 13:28
  • As Dave has pointed out there isn't a question at all when using the plugins with maven, unless you want to use a version of tiles later than the one supported by the plugin (if that is the case I can provide advice how to move forward after you have basic functionality). – Quaternion Jun 17 '12 at 03:28

Nutshell: whatever versions are used by the Struts 2.2.3 Tiles and Jasper plugins.

That it's being asked means you're not using Maven, instead managing transitive dependencies by hand--this is almost always a Really Bad Idea. Can't urge you strongly enough to not do this.

Long answer: When you have questions like this, use the Maven config files and/or Maven itself to find the answers, because that's how Struts 2 is being built.

You can use sites like http://mvnrepository.com when the info is explicit in the pom.

Struts 2 JasperReports Plugin Dependencies: JasperReports 3.1.2

Struts 2 Tiles Plugin Dependencies: Tiles 2.0.6, but not as easy to figure out since the Tiles version isn't explicit in the POM. Running mvn dependency:tree shows that it's 2.0.6:

[INFO] org.apache.struts:struts2-tiles-plugin:jar:2.2.3
[INFO] +- org.apache.tiles:tiles-core:jar:2.0.6:compile
[INFO] |  +- org.apache.tiles:tiles-api:jar:2.0.6:compile
[INFO] |  +- commons-digester:commons-digester:jar:2.0:compile (version managed from 1.8)

[INFO] |  \- commons-logging:commons-logging-api:jar:1.1:compile
[INFO] +- org.apache.tiles:tiles-jsp:jar:2.0.6:runtime
... etc ...

  • sir i want to construct a web application using struts2 , tiles, jasper . And i understand that i have to use maven . But i do not get any proper example of this . SO sir if u have any link for the same then please share. Thank you. – Abhishek Aggarwal Jun 18 '12 at 07:57
  • @abhishekaggarwal Every example application that comes with the S2 distro uses Maven--those are the easiest starting points. I believe the showcase app has both Tiles and JR examples as well. – Dave Newton Jun 18 '12 at 09:40

the above said problem occur due to incompatibility of plugin with the struts version. select your plugin which matches with struts version. upgrade your jasper plugin.
