Struts 2 annotations not working with Java 8 - struts2

Struts 2 Annotations are not working with Java 8.
I have the following example that worked with Java 7, but giving the error in Java 8.
I guess the errors is related to Libraries and Java 8.
Does anyone have this problem?? If so how do we solve it???
I am using struts 2.3.15.1 with Java 8 and Apache Tomcat 8.
This example is working successfully with Java 7, struts 2.3.15.1 and Apache Tomcat 8. I just tested both.
When i am using Java 8 it gives the following error:
> HTTP Status 404 - There is no Action mapped for namespace [/] and
> action name [test] associated with context path [/s2demo].

According to Lukas Lenart, the Struts 2 maintainer,

This was stated on June 18, 2014 on the Struts 2 mailing list (struts-user). See http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/struts-user/201406.mbox/ajax/%3CCAMopvkN0MKKt%2BPs3Cv8gjTDO4X6MjnxFV3GFs8wsqUuNxOtrkQ%40mail.gmail.com%3E

application Migrating to weblogic 12.1.3.0 from 10.3.3.0 -unable to render JSF expressions

I am in the process of migrating Struts 2+Jsf 2.x web application from WEB -LOGIC 10.3.3.0 to 12.1.3.0.
I am encountering an error while accessing the pages ,as per my understanding if a JSF tag encounters with a value which is reading from the properties file it is encountering the Issue.And in the same pages I am able to read the struts messages.
I have created a POC with the same jars which my application is using to check the JSF is rendering properly or not.the POC is working fine.
and I placed the POC created page in to my application and tried to access again the same error encounterd.
when I comment the Struts filter in My application ,newly created pages worked fine.
I have tried to upgrade the Struts2jsf plugin.jar to newer versions .
I have removed the jsf-api,jsf -impl,JSTL from the APPINF\LIB.
changed the faces-config xsd to 2.0
but no luck..
Below is the error stack :

Primefaces 5 fileupload event triggered for alternate requests alone

I am using primefaces 5 and a simple p:fileupload tag is triggering the event only for alternate requests. The event is triggered for 1st 3rd and so on, and not on 2nd 4th etc. This is happening for mode=simple/advanced, auto=true/false, multiple=true/false. Id multiple = true and then i select 4/5 files only 2/3 file events are triggered.
Is it a known issue? Or am i missing any configuration?

Cant load any page with struts 2 . Issue with web.xml

I am trying to run this example using struts 2. I inserted the libraries in the Lib folder of Web-Inf of a dynamic web project in eclipse.
My Web.xml looks like this now:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" version="2.5">

</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
</web-app>
and i created the struts.xml and placed it inside the source folder , the content of which is
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN"
"http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd">
<struts>
<!-- Configuration for the default package. -->
<package name="default" extends="struts-default">
<action name="UserAction" class="struts.UserAction">
<result name="input">/index.jsp</result>
<result name="success">/result.jsp</result>
</action>
</package>
</struts>
So now when i run any jsp i get the following error in eclipse console
Unable to load configuration. - bean - jar:file:/D:/Users/Don/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp1/wtpwebapps/Mscs674-Struts2/WEB-INF/lib/struts2-gxp-plugin-2.3.4.jar!/struts-plugin.xml:8:162
and this on the webpage
HTTP Status 404 -
type Status report
message
description The requested resource () is not available.
Any suggestions ?
The best way i found to create struts 2 application is to use the struts-blank.jar file. It has all the required configurations done for you, and you can remove some example files. It will have all the jars and xml files created for you.
If you still have problems, try doing this now...
first remove all jar (adding all lib is not solution)
Only add necessary libraries
so problem is you are having too many lib
Seems like some jars are missing .. !!
The common dependecies are ::
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-2.3.15,jar
- log4j-1.2.14.jar
- ognl-2.7.3.jar
- xwork-core-2.1.6.jar
Check the version number and add jars to classpath.
You do One thing..add javassist-3.11.0.GA.jar file.it will remove your error like
Dispatcher initialization failed java.lang.RuntimeException:
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException ..
I hope this will help you..

I think the taglibrary should be in icefaces-compat.jar which is available on what should be the class path. BTW, I used ace:, but ice: has exactly the same problem. Unfortunately, as a new user, I can't upload a snapshot of my directory structure but the jar files are located under web/WEB-INF/classes, which looks logical to me.
The question is: what is missing???
Thanks,
Ilan
Put the icefaces jar file in:
WEB-INF/lib
instead of WEB-INF/classes folder.
Put the icefaces-ace.jar file in:
WEB-INF/lib
instead of WEB-INF/ classes folder.
And enjoy!
