Question

Yet another question on this I know, but let me just say I looked everything else or about. So, I’m currently building the structure of my Struts 2 Project. I use Struts 2.3.4, JBoss 7.1 and Eclipse Indigo. I also included all the necessary jar into my project. The problem is when I run my application (Add project to Jboss, Run On Server) and go “http://localhost:8080/booxstore/” I get this:

Etat HTTP 404 - There is no Action mapped for namespace [/] and action name [] associated with context path [/booxstore]

My web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

  </filter-mapping>
  <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
  </welcome-file-list>

</web-app>

My struts.xml :

<?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="pages" namespace="/pages" extends="struts-default">
        <action name="afficher" class="com.booxstore.controller.DisplayAction" >
            <result name="SUCCESS">/center.jsp</result>
        </action>
    </package>
 </struts>

My action :

/**
 * 
 */
package com.booxstore.controller;

import com.opensymphony.xwork2.Action;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;

public class DisplayAction extends ActionSupport {

    /**
     * 
     */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 8199854978749642334L;

    public String execute() throws Exception{
        System.out.println("IN");
        return Action.SUCCESS;
    }
}

My JSP just have plain text and have imported struts 2 tags. Basically no matter what I do I can’t get a resource. If I go to “http://localhost:8080/booxstore/” or “http://localhost:8080/booxstore/DisplayAction” I get “There is no action mapped” and if I tried to access directly the jsp I get a 404. Please note my war is deployed and enabled on the server.

Answer 1

Put index.jsp under WebContent folder, move pages folder to WEB-INF and then change the struts.xml with:

<struts>
 <constant name="struts.devMode" value="false" />
 <package name="pages" extends="struts-default">
    <action name="afficher" class="com.booxstore.controller.DisplayAction" >
        <result name="SUCCESS">/WEB-INF/pages/center.jsp</result>
    </action>
 </package>
</struts>

I think that the problem is that the application is not finding the jsps that you are putting in the configuration files. And META-INF folder is not the place for putting your jsps pages if you don’t want to make them public, WEB-INF is better for that purpose.
