ActionContextCleanUp is deprecated Struts2 Archetype

Question

Just started using Struts2. I thought it would be a good idea to to use the struts2 archetype, but it appears that is very outdated. When I run my project, I keep getting this warning:

ActionContextCleanUp <<< is deprecated! Please use the new filters!

Here is my current web.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    </welcome-file-list>

</web-app>

What do I change to get rid of the warning?

Answer 1

Got it figured out. After looking at this example web.xml file for the sitemesh plugin, I ended up with a working web.xml file. Here's what it looks like for anyone else having this problem:

<display-name>Test</display-name>

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>classpath*:applicationContext*.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

</welcome-file-list>

</web-app>

Now that warning is gone.

Answer 2

you can delete filter action2-cleanup.

<filter>
    <filter-name>action2-cleanup</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ActionContextCleanUp</filter-class>
</filter>
