Hi,
I just upgraded from 2.7RC2 to 2.7 using the Eclipse Installer. We have one web app project which has been happily using ME for the last three monhts. After upgrading, I looked at properties on that project and the MyEclipse-Struts property had an error message of “Invalid base package specified’. The “Base Package” has a value of “/WebRoot”.
Is this something new (I don’t recall what was around in RC2) and if so, it is to help with multiple projects feeding into a web app project? If so, then how do I get hook up my other “feeder” projects? In any case, this is just a “fill in the blank” value and I don’t know what to put into the blank – does the name of the current project go into it?
Thanks for the help
GSX,
Your base package is the webroot of your project relative to your project’s directory tree. So lets say you have:/Project Root /src /webrootThen your base package would be “/webroot”. If you cannot edit this field directly, then you can open the .mystrutsdata file manually and change it in there. This is actually a bug and the upgrade shouldn’t have changed this value on you. We are sorry for the trouble.
❓ ❓ ❓ Now I am confused.
For my project, there is MyEclipse-Struts, MyEclipse-XDoclet and MyEclipse-Web. MyEclipse-Web has a “Web-root Folder” which is set to “/WebRoot”. MyEclipse-Struts has a “Base Package” which looked like it should be set to “com.mycompany.project” or something like that and this was set to “/WebRoot” after the installation.
As a test, I added a new web-app and it appears that “Base Package” was set to the default package name (e..g, com.mycompany.project”). Therefore, I made the change in my real project from “/WebRoot”. to “com.mycompany.project” and it appeared to fix the problem (well, it made the red error message go away).
If I read your response, then you are suggesting that the Struts “Base Package” should be the same as the Web App attribute “Web-root Folder”? Do I understand this attribute on the MyEclipse-Struts property sheet correctly? I know that in either case that the installer should have not left it hanging – but for the immediate term, what do I need to do to correct this error?
Thanks,
GSX,
The base package is the java package that should be used as a prefix for you generated struts java code. Setting it as you did in the Struts properties is correct. The error was caused by a bug we had in RC1 that was aggravated by the new version.
If I read your response, then you are suggesting that the Struts “Base Package” should be the same as the Web App attribute “Web-root Folder”?
No, you’re good as is. Web-root is /WebRoot and the base package is where you want your java code.
