Greetings…

I have just installed 2.7.2 RC 2…

in the help/about section the following is the version information
Build id: 200312091200-2.7-RC1 ( 😉 minor error Build id still says RC1)

If I try open a struts or expresso xml config file, it :
1. gives me a dialog stating that “The file has been changed on the file system. Do you want to load the changes”. (if i select either option “yes” or “no” the result is the same :?)

2. opens the XML editor with nothing but the word “ERROR” being displayed.

I will have revert back to RC1 until this has been corrected.

Thanks
Brian

Brian,

Before opening the file, can you perform a ‘Refresh’ on it? Does that fix the issue? Is there a stacktrace available in the log file? Can you post answers to the questions we ask in the posting guidelines thread? The ‘Insert’ button when creating a new post facilitates this.

[Riyad Kalla]

Brian:
Just to help you find it, the .log file Scott is asking for is located in:
<eclipse install dir>\workspace\.metadata\.log

Scroll to the end of the file and look for the last few instances of:
!SESSION——————

which mark each time you run Eclipse, grab the one (or ones) where you had problems and paste them in here.

Morning…

1. Tried to refresh file before, same result..

The following “part” Stacktrace occurs when I open the Expresso-Config.xml
Stacktrace:
!ENTRY org.xmen.multipageeditor.XMenPlugin 1 1 Jan 13, 2004 09:25:51.734
!MESSAGE http://localhost:8080/bootcamp/WEB_INF/config/expresso-config_4_0.dtd

When I try open a struts config file… no log is generated… the result is still the same.
” opens the XML editor with nothing but the word “ERROR” being displayed.”

Scott… I did … the whole first part of my message is what was inserted by the button.
check.. I’ll do it again 😛

I have this exact anomaly with 2.7.2 RC2. I’ll email the files as attachments.

Kind regards

Brian & Emmanuel,
It looks like the XML editor is trying to pull the DTD for the file from your local machine which would require Tomcat (or whatever app serve ryou are using) to be running… BUT you are pointing the URI to a sub dir under the WEB-INF directory which are never accessible via the web, so the editors attempt to pull the DTD will always fail.

Can you copy-paste the DTD line of your XML file into a message here for us?

Scott: I think the XML editor should display a friendly message when something like this happens, as its not really its fault it cannot load the DTD, but it could be more informative.

[emmanuel]

Hello Riyad,

Can you copy-paste the DTD line of your XML file into a message here for us?

<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC “-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.0//EN” “http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_0.dtd”&gt;

Please keep in mind that it’s an editor and I could have all sorts of inconsistencies (whilst developing) which should not interfere with the editor.

I’ll email the files as attachments.

Just sent email.

Kind regards
Emmanuel

[Riyad Kalla]

Hmmm, I take back my previous comment, that seems to be a sane DTD location.

[Scott Anderson]

Emmanuel,

This looks like a bug is encountered when retrieving the DTD’s. As a workaround, you can change them to the struts 1.1 dtd (1_1.dtd instead of 1_0.dtd) and the editor will work fine. I’ve entered this into our internal tracking system so it can be fixed in the next release.

[Riyad Kalla]

Emmanuel / Scott,
Was this fixed in 2.7 GA?

[Scott Anderson]

Yes, it was fixed in 2.7 GA
