Upgrading from BEA Weblogic portal 8.1.5 to BEA Weblogic Portal 10.3

Question

We are upgrading from BEA Weblogic portal 8.1.5 to BEA Weblogic Portal 10.3. We just took over the project from some other vendor since last 9 months. At some of the places in the code, we are using internal APIs of Weblogic Server which should not have been used at the first place.
As weblogic has changed the version and internal structure as well as the classes also, We are facing problems in terms of compilation of the code itself.
The class "ServletRequestImpl" is giving us issues.
Has anybody faced the similar issues, if yes, please let me know.

Since the Struts portlet support requires that struts app be converted to a module,
alternate message resources need to be accessed by modifying the bundle name by
appending the module name, since Struts doesn't automatically propogate the alternate
resources from the ServletContext to the Request when a module is selected.
For instance, in suppose your struts application module is /struts/myExample.
To access the alternate bundle from within that module, you'll need to specify
the bundle as alternate/struts/myExample.

Hi,
I'm trying to get the struts-example webapp from Struts 1.1 RC1 working
under
Weblogic Portal 8.1 with the JSR 168 and Struts support patch.
I am having problems with the message bundle properties files ApplicationResources.properties
and AlternateApplicationResources.properties as neither of these files
are being
picked up.
These files are located in org/apache/struts/webapp/example in WEB-INF/src
and
WEB-INF/classes of my webapp (i.e. <WEBAPP>/WEB-INF - my struts-example
resides
in <WEBAPP>/struts-example). I've also tried adding <init-param>'s to
the <WEB-APP>/WEB-INF/web.xml
file for the action servlet as follows:
<servlet> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> ... <init-param> <param-name>application</param-name>
<param-value>org.apache.struts.webapp.example.ApplicationResources</param-value>
</init-param> <init-param> <param-name>alternate</param-name> <param-value>org.apache.struts.webapp.example.AlternateApplicationResources</param-value>
</init-param> </servlet>
When I use the logon action as the starting action for the portlet, I
get:
Error opening /struts-example/logon.jsp. The source of this error is
javax.servlet.ServletException:
Cannot find message resources under key alternate at weblogic.servlet.jsp.PageContextImpl.handlePageException...
Any help would be appreciated.
