JSPWiki 2.8.4#

1. Unzip the JSPWiki.war into a folder called "JSPWiki.war"
2. Edit properties
3. Delete from WEB-INF/lib

• commons-logging-api.jar
• log4j.jar
• mail.jar
• activation.jar
• xmlrpc.jar

4. Copy it in the JBoss deploy folder (do not use a packed war file!)

Struts 2#

Use/Update following libs (as of 22.01.2011)

• commons-fileupload-1.2.1.jar
• commons-io-1.3.2.jar
• commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
• commons-logging-api-1.1.jar
• freemarker-2.3.16.jar
• jstl.jar
• log4j-1.2.15.jar
• mysql-connector-java-5.1.7-bin.jar
• ognl-3.0.jar
• sitemesh-2.4.2.jar
• standard.jar
• struts2-core-2.2.1.1.jar
• xwork-core-2.2.1.1.jar

There is still a bug in xwork-core-2.2.1.1.jar which puts following in the log

23:07:26,953 INFO  [STDOUT] 23:07:26,949  WARN FileManager:60 - Could not create JarEntryRevision for [vfs:/D:/lang/WebAppServer/jboss-6.0.0.Final/server/default/deploy/EbelComputing.war/WEB-INF/lib/struts2-core-2.2.1.1]!
23:07:26,953 INFO  [STDOUT] java.io.FileNotFoundException: vfs:\D:\lang\WebAppServer\jboss-6.0.0.Final\server\default\deploy\EbelComputing.war\WEB-INF\lib\struts2-core-2.2.1.1 (Die Syntax für den Dateinamen, Verzeichnisnamen oder die Datenträgerbezeichnung ist falsch)

Obviously there happens only a version check, which is not necessary in the end. This does not hurt the application.
