ok, I imported it into test-area/sjtan/test-struts-3  .  I made sure I 
could rebuild it first , from current web downloads ,
but it takes quite a lot of configuration, the same as Oscar McMaster. 
Should be a revision if Oscar McMaster has
worked for you (except the build part)

README and TROUBLESHOOTING describes what's below.


Basically, have jdk1.4 and Ant installed; 
download binary apache-struts-1.1 and copy its lib directory contents into
the WEB-INF/lib directory;
download binary jakarta-tomcat 5 , and copy  commons/lib/servlet-api.jar 
into the WEB-INF/lib directory as well;
this regenerates the original package, in order to get the thing to build.
cd to  WEB-INF/src/  and run 'ant' to build.

Then make sure jakarta-tomcat has a manager role and user with this role 
in tomcat-5/conf/tomcat-users.xml ;
make sure  it can find a postgres driver (copy the postgresql.jar to 
tomcat-5/commons/lib/ ) ,  
and load the built application via it's META-INF/context.xml file in the 
2nd option of the tomcat manager's web deploy section page. (see README) 

The META-INF/context.xml file needs to have the absolute path to where 
the application's
directory is as docBase attribute, and its user and password  attributes 
have to be a valid Postgres/Gnumed  read-write user/password.

The application's dummy login     is 'admin' 'password'. Only 
demographics has search, edit and create. There is an outline of 
clinical, but not yet functional.
Because the application uses Struts framework, it is likely to be 
quickly comprehensible to a Struts developer ( however, might have 
overused the PlugIn  application config a bit).
