Hello Madhuri,

1) Can you check the web.xml file.

You are probably just missing a "/" at the beginning of the url-pattern tag...

2) The other way could be to recreate the project and move your files to the new project.

hi Nilesh,
this is my web.xml file....can you once check it....i had seen url pattern...it is like this
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">

Can you provide the stack trace along with the version of Jars that you have included in while running the application.

[madhuri kunchala]

hi,
these are the jar files i used..
1)commons-fileupload-1.2.1.jar
2)commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
3)freemarker-2.3.16.jar
4)ognl-3.0.jar
5)struts2-core-2.2.1.jar
6)xwork-core-2.2.1.jar

the stack trace by deploying the application

Do the following changes:

1) Add javaassit.jar [Not included in "struts-2.2.1-all.zip". you will have to download it.]

2) Add "commons-logging-api-1.1.jar" and "commons-io-1.3.2.jar"

3) Replaced "ognl-3.0.jar" with "ognl-2.7.3.jar" [In the dependency list OGNL 2.7.3 is given and you are using OGNL 3, try to use 2.7.3 version to see if it works... ]

Not true, it's in the struts2-blank application.

3) Replaced "ognl-3.0.jar" with "ognl-2.7.3.jar" [In the dependency list OGNL 2.7.3 is given and you are using OGNL 3, try to use 2.7.3 version to see if it works... ]

NO. Do NOT downgrade libraries at random. S2.2.1 has a dependency on OGNL 3.0.
