Struts2 and Eclipse: No configuration found for the specified action in namespace: ''

[eddy johns]

Hi everyone. I'm running the struts2 simple HelloWorld app from http://www.vaannila.com/struts-2/struts-2-example/struts-2-hello-world-example-1.html, and getting this error: "No configuration found for the specified action: 'HelloWorld' in namespace: ''. Form action defaulting to 'action' attribute's literal value." Then, when I run the first jsp, it doesn't even call the HelloWorld.java.

I think the reason is that the app -- in Eclipse -- doesn't even find my struts.xml, because if I change the namespace property to something like this:

<struts>
    <package name="default" extends="struts-default" namespace="asdfasdfadsfasdf">
        <action name="HelloWorld" class="vaannila.HelloWorld">
            <result name="SUCCESS">/success.jsp</result>
        </action>
    </package>
</struts>

it still gives the same error, with namespace:''

My struts.xml is in the java src folder and it definitely in the project's classpath. Why isn't it getting found?

Thanks!

Hi Johns,

Please post the contents of Jsp that you are accessing.

<package name="default" extends="struts-default" namespace="asdfasdfadsfasdf">

Default namespace is "/". You have to append "/" to the new namespace string

namespace = "/asdfasdfadsfasdf"

Are you able to access the page when you don't specify any namespace?

How are you accessing the action class. If you are using namespace then action url should be accessed using namespace
for example http://<IPADDRESS>:<PORT>/<ApplicationContextRoot>/<Namespace>/<Action>;

I am also facing the same error with the same example.Can some body help me on this?

The Vannila example posted has various dtd and other tags on the top of various jsp file index.jsp , success.jsp, struts.xml etc or try to compare your app code with the Example1 posted in the same site. it should work then.

this problem is easy.you can do this:
new a folder named "namespace" in WebRoot ,then drag success.jsp in it.
the action result url will be change into <ApplicationContextRoot>/<Namespace>/<result location>;
for example :
your url will be change into <ApplicationContextRoot>/asdfasdfadsfasdf/success.jsp
obviously,it's wrong url.because you don't have a jsp in the folder named asdfasdfadsfasd
