Stripes with WebSphere

Component Scanning Issues

For whatever reason, WebSphere does not support component scanning of ActionBean classes unless you include an INDEX.LIST file in the META-INF directory of your JAR (http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/guide/jar/jar.html#JAR Index).

To ensure you have this file included with your app simply use the option 'index=true' option when JAR'ing your classes with ANT:
<jar index="true" ../>
Similarly there are command line options provided by JavaC.

With this file in place, Actions located in JARs will be found by the Default Stripes VFS implementation.
