Struts 2 error

[Sidd Kulk]

This is my struts config file: The root of my project is StrutsProject:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN" "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd">
<struts>
 <constant name="struts.devMode" value="false" />
 <package name="first" namespace="/helloworld" extends="struts-default">
  <action name="HelloWorld" class="com.abc.actions.HelloWorldAction">
   <result name="SUCCESS">/pages/login.jsp</result>
  </action>
 </package>
</struts>

I am trying to access the following URL: http://localhost:8080/StrutsProject/helloworld/HelloWorld.action

I am getting the following error:

There is no Action mapped for action name helloworld. - [unknown location] at com.opensymphony.xwork2.DefaultActionProxy.prepare(DefaultActionProxy.java:186) at org.apache.struts2.impl.StrutsActionProxyFactory.createActionProxy(StrutsActionProxyFactory.java:41) at org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.Dispatcher.serviceAction(Dispatcher.java:497) at org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher.doFilter(FilterDispatcher.java:421) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:186)

Please help,
Siddharth

Where did you put your struts.xml file??

[David Newton]

Are you also returning the literal string "SUCCESS" from the action? That's *not* what the SUCCESS constant is defined as.

I'm also a little suspicious of the mis-match between the URL you're requesting and the error message.

[Sidd Kulk]

I have put my struts.xml file in src, and it is copied when the project is built into WEB-INF classes.

And I am returning the string "SUCCESS" from action class.

[Ankit Garg]

Does your URL contain HelloWorld.action or helloworld.action??

[Sidd Kulk]

My URL has HelloWorld.action, as mentioned above. I see no reason why this should not work.

Please help.

What does the config-browser plugin report? Have yo uturned devMode to true and turned up logging to check for startup errors?

[Sidd Kulk]

Yes, dev mode is set to true and logs are visible on console. I had few errors earlier, but I resolved them all to start the server. There are no errors now.

Sorry David, I didn't get that part. What is config-browser plugin? I am not using any such plugin.

>And I am returning the string "SUCCESS" from action class.
Not sure if you meant the constant SUCCESS from com.opensymphony.xwork2.Action which actually is the string "success". So if you are returning the actual string it should be "success".

[Sidd Kulk]

That is correct Vijay, I am returning the hard coded String "SUCCESS"
The problem is that the code is not reaching the action class at all

[Pradeep Adibatla]

I think your jsp <s:form action="helloworld" and the one in your config.xml is "Helloworld"...check that !!!

I'm suggesting you should, to see what S2 things your configuration is.

[Sidd Kulk]

I guess I will download it and give it a try..

Anyone here know of some bug related to Tomcat 5 and Struts 2?

[David Newton]

Download it? It comes with the Struts 2 distribution.

And no, I don't. The problem is not going to be related to S2 or Tomcat--it's going to be a configuration or deployment issue.

I'm *still* suspicious of the error message--the action name shouldn't be "helloworld", it should be "HelloWorld". That's why I wanted you to check what S2 thinks your configuration is.
