Question

I’ve got this error when deploying in Websphere 7. but it’s working fine in Tomcat 7. It’s such a strange behavior.

Unable to instantiate Action, …: Scope ‘session’ is not active for the current thread; consider defining a scoped proxy for this bean…. In this case, use RequestContextListener or RequestContextFilter to expose the current request.

I use Spring 3 + Struts2 using annotation configuration
Here is my configurations:

Action configuration:

@Bean 
@Scope(value="session", proxyMode=ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS) 
public sws.web.utilization.reports.Action public_utilization_reports(){
    sws.web.utilization.reports.Action action = new sws.web.utilization.reports.Action();       
    return action;
}

Web.xml

Please help. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I still use jsp version 2.4
and use RequestcontextFiler rather than RequestContextListner. it worked fine.

<filter>
<filter-name>RequestContextFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.RequestContextFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
