Question

Answer 1

A:

Are you definitely hitting the context root for your application. i.e. in web.xml the application has a name this is normally the same as the context root unless you have packaged the application up into a war file with a different name.

http://yourserver:8080/yourcontextroot

I believe that Stuts 2 comes with some sample web applications and some maven archetypes. It's always a good idea to start with one of these and then customise it for your needs.

http://struts.apache.org/2.1.2/docs/struts-maven-archetypes.html

Struts 2 has an example project called struts-blank-2.x.xx.war. http://mirrors.dedipower.com/ftp.apache.org/struts/examples/struts2-blank-2.0.14.war

You can download it and rename it to .zip and see how they have set the project up.

WEB-INF/web.xml

should have the struts2 servlet and filter

...    
<filter>
    <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

WEB-INF/classes/struts.xml should be in the classes folder and should point to your struts config file

    ...
    <include file="yourconfig.xml"/>

*WEB-INF/yourconfig.xml in the same folder as struts.xml and contains the mappings for your actions

...
<package name="example" namespace="/example" extends="struts-default">

    <action name="*" class="example.ExampleSupport">
        <result>/example/test.jsp</result>
    </action>

    <!-- Add actions here -->
</package>

All jsp files are in a folder called /example

Answer 2

A:

I might be wrong, but for every action, it goes to /test.jsp. Yet you've just created [app name]/index.jsp?? Create a [app name]/test.jsp and point there!? (try removing the slash in the xml file before test.jsp?)

Good point - although the index.jsp is likely to be the welcome page from `web.xml`

pjp 2009-08-26 22:12:22

Both the index.jsp and test.jsp files exist.

Answer 3

A:

Using Firefox provided the key that I needed to determine the source of this issue - the Error 404: SRVE0190E message which told me that the problem was a Websphere configuration.

The problem is explained in better detail at the following link:

IBM Websphere WebContainer throws a FileNotFoundException when a request is received for a static file which does not exist on the file system.

And the solution is explained at this link (in this case, setting the com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.invokefilterscompatibility value=true):

Websphere setting up custom properties

For completeness sake, I'll put how to correct this problem here:

-In the administrative console, click "Servers" and under Servers click "Application Servers"

-Click on the server to which the custom property is to be applied

-Under "Configuration" and "Container settings" click "Web Container Settings" and under Web Container Settings click "Web Container"

-Under "Configuration" and "Additional Properties" click "Custom Properties"

-In the Custom Properties page, click "New"

-In the settings page, enter the name of the custom property to be added in the "Name" field and the value to be set for the custom property in the "Value" field. Note that some properties are case sensitive. For this issue, the property is "com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.invokefilterscompatibility" and the value will be "true"

-Click "Apply" or "OK"

-Click "Save" in the "Messages" box that appears Restart the server for the custom property to take effect
