Hi,
I have set a small struts application

I cannot figure where my actionmapping is pointing

The struts-config.xml is:

<struts-config>
<data-sources/>
<form-beans>
<form-bean name="GetNameForm" type="sample.GetNameForm"/>
</form-beans>
<global-exceptions/>
<global-forwards>
<forward name="getName" path="inputname.jsp"/>
</global-forwards>
<action-mappings>
<action name="GetNameForm" path="/greeting" scope="request" type="sample.GreetingAction">
<forward name="sayHello" path="greeting.jsp"/>
</action>
</action-mappings>
<controller/>
</struts-config>

The setup i got is:
Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\StrutsHello

and under StrutsHello

WEB-INF
classes
lib
pages/
and under pages i got
index.jsp
inputname.jsp
greeting.jsp


I got it working from index.jsp(which just has a logic redirect forward) to the inputname.jsp
and when i press the submit button is seems to go to the greeting.do and does nothing.

(ie it gets to http://localhost:8080/StrutsHello/pages/inputname.jsp then pressing submit button with html:form action="/greeting.do"

it goes to : http://localhost:8080/StrutsHello/greeting.do and does nothing.

Any suggestions to what i am doing wrong?

Thanks

Anil

Make sure that at the end of the execute() method of GreetingAction you have the statement:

return mapping.findForward("sayHello");

where mapping is the variable name for the ActoinMapping object passed in as a parameter to the execute method.

Thanks Merrill,

I do have return mapping.findForward("sayHello") in the execute() method.

I was more concerned whether i placed the everything in the right structure.

Try with this
In the forward attribute check the path attribute starts with forward slash(/) for <global-forwards> as well as <action> forwards

<forward name="getName" path="/inputname.jsp"/>

In the forward path attribute you try with pages/greeting.jsp or /pages/greeting.jsp

Hi Anil,
Replace your action mapping with this in struts-config.xml
<action path="/greeting" type="sample.GreetingAction" name="GetNameForm" scope="request" input="/pages/inputname.jsp" >
<forward name="sayHello" path="/pages/greeting.jsp"/>
</action>
The problem is the request is being passed to your GreetingAction Servlet.Your GreetingAction Servlet knows to dispatch
the request to "sayHello" to generate the response but it is not able to locate greeting.jsp since you had not mentioned the complete virtual path of greeting.jsp correctly.You have mentioned only (/greeting.jsp).
In the inputname.jsp your action tag should be like this
<html:action name="/greeting">

Thanks guys,

I stuffed in up in the Action

Made some changes to the Action but forgot to take the complied classes from eclipse to the tomcat directory.

Thanks
