Dispatch Action Not working

[Tihor Atpug]

Hi,

I am using a combination of Struts 1.3 and Spring in my project, I am using Dispatch Action for all my action classes. Lately when I check the logs of the application, I see the following error,

javax.servlet.ServletException: Request[/viewDef] does not contain handler parameter named 'method'. This may be caused by whitespace in the label text.

This error doesn't happen all the time for the same action classes and I am getting troubled by this .

Regards,
Rohit

Welcome to JR !
Your post doesn't provide enough information regarding what exactly happening.
Look here, for what I want to say

How you're accessing the dispatch action, the URL? Provide the struts-config.xml action mapping snippet ?

Hope this helps, this is the whole stack trace..

 
javax.servlet.ServletException: Request[/user] does not contain handler parameter named 'method'.  This may be caused by whitespace in the label text.

The struts config mapping

 
<action path="/user"  type="org.springframework.web.struts.DelegatingActionProxy" name="logonForm" parameter="method" scope="request" validate="false" 	input="/pages/Edit.jsp">
			<forward name="login" path="user.login" />
			<forward name="valid" path="/web/cube" />
			<forward name="register" path="user.register" />
			<forward name="download" path="/web/cart?method=viewCart" />
			<forward name="checkEmail" path="/WEB-INF/jsp/checkEmail.jsp" />
			<forward name="saved1" path="user.savestepone" />
		</action>

I am trying to access the url directly by typing the address in the browser.

I am trying to access the url directly by typing the address in the browser.

What is the url you tried ? it should have "method" parameter in query String .something like ?method=xyz

[Tihor Atpug]

Yup.. am accessing the url with all the prameters and no widespace and stuff.. and as I said.. most of the time the url works fine.. just 4-5 times of hundred I get this error.

Then is it possible to you to post the URL ?

Try logging the URL every time the request comes, so that you can see which particular URL patter throws this exception.

Also some limitations to my knowledge, because I don't know Spring, (no idea of this action "org.springframework.web.struts.DelegatingActionProxy"), so asking this question in Spring forum will help you.
