I'm trying to setup maven and struts 2 project in Eclipse, but I'm having problems. I have chosen to create simple HelloWorld example and afterwards add some other functionality, but I'm having problems.

I have 'struts.xml' path in project: src/main/resources/struts.xml

and inside it:


also I have web.xml with path src/main/web/WEB-INF/web.xml and content:


From commandline I use 'mvn clean install' and I get .war file to target folder, that .war file I'm going to deploy under Tomcat (also it deploys it successfully) but when I enter url I get error:

The requested resource (/ContactWeb/Pages/Login.jsp) is not available.

same error with different url-s only path is different (/ContactWeb/Login.jsp, /ContactWeb/Login.action etc.).

In my project I do have Login.jsp, Index.jsp and also Welcome.jsp. They are under: src/main/web/Pages

I have read somewhere that in struts2 I need to but .action extension to url, but it doesn't work and also why in struts.xml is package name and namespace? what exactly needs to be there? I have read that is for page what it is going to display?

Hi @Timo

I would like to add my analysis

The requested resource (/ContactWeb/Pages/Login.jsp) is not available.

it's 404 exception - Let us know how you are calling your action Login.

It should be
it should be http://localhost:8080/yourApplicationName/Login Remember in struts2 you can define any extension you want but if you are not specifying anything struts add .action

same error with different url-s only path is different (/ContactWeb/Login.jsp, /ContactWeb/Login.action etc.).

In my project I do have Login.jsp, Index.jsp and also Welcome.jsp. They are under: src/main/web/Pages

I have read somewhere that in struts2 I need to but .action extension to url, but it doesn't work and also why in struts.xml is package name and namespace? what exactly needs to be there? I have read that is for page what it is going to display?

Struts2 NameSpace
