Jakarta Struts and 'Legacy' Servlets

[Ruaan Kruger]

Hi there,

I'm a junior java programmer that has just started working on j2ee.
The company I worked for is currently using Struts for all new
implementations etc.

The problem is however that we still have a fair amount of 'legacy'
(for a lack of a better word - using HttpServlet) Servlets that
performs some major functions and sets an object onto the request.

Where I'm having trouble is trying to get my ActionForm to use this
servlet. I've tried declaring a forward but all I get is a blank
screen. Rewriting the old servlet would prove costly because we would
require additional programming time and testing.

I'm currently only getting a blank screen and there is no exceptions
in the JBoss log file (debug and info turned on).

The guys in our department can't help me because some of them still
work with the old Servlets and others using just Struts. No one here
has tried something like this before.

If there is anyone that could assist or point me into a different
direction via it be something in the API, it would be greatly
appreciated.

Regards,
Ruaan Kruger
