i am using weblogic 8.1 application server.

i have struts.jar and placed in the lib folder.
ie org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.

and set the classpath.

updated in the web.xml and also wrote struts-config.xml

but it shows the below errror

<struts-config>
<
<action-mappings>
<action path="/Success" forward="/rep/Success.jsp"/>
</action-mappings>
</struts-config>

[Raghavan Muthu]

Is your "struts-config.xml" file is under "WEB-INF" folder?

joe here

yes i have placed my struts-config.xml only within the WEB-INF

folder. what you mean UNDERSTAND the person

[Sagar Rohankar]

<struts-config>
<
<action-mappings>
<action path="/Success" forward="/rep/Success.jsp"/>
</action-mappings>
</struts-config>

Is that a part of your .xml file or A whole xml file you copy pasted ??
I need a whole struts-config.xnl file AND web.xml, so that i can find some error in it .. ( As the exception showed its parse exception ..) i think,the problem may be in dtd definition.

Yes, that is true. It might be the case with validating the xml file against the DTD or Schema.

Can you paste your web.xml and struts-config.xml files here? It means the complete contents !

where webapp is the Root Directory

I think my struts-config.xml is wrong. i dont know to write struts-config.xml. please help how to learn because i am new to struts.

You will need the following at the beginning of your struts-config.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC
          "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.3//EN"
          "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-config_1_3.dtd">

This is assuming you are using some variation of Struts 1.3. Otherwise, substitute the appropriate DTD.

My advice is to unzip the struts-blank-1.3.8.war file that comes with the download and use that as the basis for your struts project. This will help you to avoid a lot of simple configuration mistakes.

Hi,
joe here

where i can get the struts 1.3.8.war from the site. can anyone
give the link.

[Sagar Rohankar]

hi joseph,

find the war file here

[Sammy Chen]

hi guys,

It might not be configuration problem, and be conflicted of the version of jdk. That means the version of jdk in your server is different from in your development IDE. Most IDE set default version of jdk.

Try it
