Is there a way to change the Struts version for my project? It used to be a Struts 1.2 project, but now MyEclipse is telling me that it is a Struts 1.1 project. It told me this when I tried to add a new Struts 1.2 Action. MyEclipse complained that I can’t add a Struts 1.2 Action class to a Struts 1.1 project. My struts-config.xml specifically points to the Struts 1.2 DTD:

<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC “-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.2//EN” “http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-config_1_2.dtd”&gt;

Is there a way I can revert my project back to a Struts 1.2 project?

My installation details are below. Thanks for your help.

SSS,
The setting it is reading from is from the .mystrutsdata file in the root of your project. If you change the “version” to “2” I believe it is, it will think it’s a 1.2 project.

I don’t have a .mystrutsdata file in the root of my project. I see files like .mymetadata, .myhibernatedata, etc. , but no .mystrutsdata. Any ideas?

Thanks!

if you right-click on the project and go to properties, then MyEclipse, and check the icons… is the Struts icon enabled?

[sheel.shah@boeing.com]

Yes, the icon is enabled.

Are you absolutely certain you can’t find a .mystrutsdata file anywhere in your project? The file contents looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MyEclipseStrutsProperties>
    <strutsVersion>2</strutsVersion>
    <basePackage>com.yourcompany.struts</basePackage>
    <strutsPattern>0</strutsPattern>
    <servletName>action</servletName>
</MyEclipseStrutsProperties>

as an example… try and search for “MyEclipseStrutsProperties” in your project. The reason I’m asking is because I don’t know how the Struts wizard could be enforcing the version constraint without this file.

[sheel.shah@boeing.com]

I did the search and no results were returned. So, I created the file in the root of the project and that looks like it has fixed the problem. Thanks for your help.

Strange I wonder what happened to the original file. Either way I’m glad it’s working now.

Your guess is as good as mine 🙂 . Thanks for the follow-up.
