Re: size of war

Hi Berny

I ve switched off  FOP like this (in strutscx-config.xml)

 <!-- apache FOP -->
 <fop>
   <!-- switch use of apache FOP ON|OFF-->
   <on>OFF</on>
   <!-- point to the location of the fop configuration file:
userconfig.xml -->
   <config>/WEB-INF/userconfig.xml</config>
 </fop>

Now I remooved FOP library from lib.
It gives the following exception while deploying in JBoss3.0.6

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/fop/apps/FOPException

If I include the FOP lib, then it works fine.

It means even if I switch off FOP it still requires FOP lib !!!

Any thoughts?

regards

-Nitin
