Please can someone fix the cannot find action error?

i have tried the things the previous commenter suggested and it is still not working

Posted by alan on Monday, 10.13.08 @ 11:47am | #81039

The error comes because we are trying to put the jar file in lib directory as well as the compiles classes in the classes directory .. please remove all the directory from the classes directory if u are using ant...

Hi, I have a weird problem. When I go to the address: http://localhost:8080/struts2tutorial/index.html the application works fine, however if I go to http://localhost:8080/struts2tutorial/ then the application redirects me to the http://localhost:8080/struts2tutorial/example/HelloWorld.action,
which is what the example index.html does (which I have deleted, rebuilt the whole application and restarted Tomcat). Does anybody know why this is happening?
Thanks

Hi Andrew

I tried the solution posted by you to remove the namespace entry in the package tag. I still see the same error. Was anyone else successful in resolving this error?

Thanks
Krishna

Posted by Krishna on Wednesday, 05.7.08 @ 22:41pm | #58819

every thing is good but implement extra features in jdbc it not enough so pls do this .

Posted by praveen on Wednesday, 05.7.08 @ 17:24pm | #58797

Make sure you stop tomcat then remove the jar file you built ..

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\struts2tutorial\WEB-INF\lib

then restart with the required change and your good to go

Posted by Will on Thursday, 05.1.08 @ 20:38pm | #58316

The solution was posted above:

This was set as /roseindia in the struts.xml file:

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

Instead, do this:

<package name="roseindia" extends="struts-default">

Posted by Andrew on Thursday, 05.1.08 @ 13:18pm | #58280

Change the index.html file it will work. the tutorial doesnt say that explicitly. The file is available at the source code struts2tutorial.zip

http://www.roseindia.net/struts/struts2/struts2tutorial.zip

Posted by Anuradha on Thursday, 04.17.08 @ 01:27am | #56746

can some body explain why Iam getting the following error
"SEVERE: Could not find action or result
There is no Action mapped for action name testAction. - [unknown location]".
I guess there is lot of mismatch with the jars that apache published, and there is no solution either form apache.Iam running a very simple application in MyEclipse6,if any body know the answer pl do post the answer..it saves lots of time
Thanks

Posted by prashanth on Wednesday, 04.2.08 @ 08:18am | #55088

I wonder why the ant doesn't build the war file so that I can work within Eclipse and deploy the war file to TomCat webapp directory, instead of working in TomCat webapp directory.

Only jar file is built but war is mention in 'dist' target.

Posted by Michael Wan on Monday, 03.24.08 @ 09:51am | #54030

I tried the below change, but I'm still getting the same error. Does this thing work?

Posted by Joshua Glickman on Monday, 03.24.08 @ 03:56am | #54006

I found the solution. The problem is the namespace.
This was set as /roseindia in the struts.xml file:

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

Instead, do this:

<package name="roseindia" extends="struts-default">

(which means the namespace will default to ""), which is what is needed.

Hi,

After i did everything i got the status error,"There is no Action mapped for action name HelloWorld."

Can anybody tell why this doesnt maps?

Problem:
Struts has detected an unhandled exception:

Solution: You should also modify the index.html, which the author maybe have omitted.
The problem exist in the following:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=example/HelloWorld.action">

Hi,

I am also getting the same error when i try to submit a page .

""" There is no Action mapped for action name ""

I think the problem is how/from wehre the struts listner picks up the struts.xml, it seems the problem is where to keep the struts.xml.

One solutions i got is we have to keep the struts.xml in "classes" folder, but for me it's not working, if any one solved this issue, please let me know. rajagopal_yendluri@satyam.com

Dear All,

The only missing link in successful execution of this application is that you need to modify the index.html, which is not mentioned in the steps.
Change the index.html file, and it works.
Here is the file:

******
index.html...
******
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>RoseIndia.Net Struts 2 Tutorial</title>

Hello,
I've tried the download code there is no problem but when I rebuilt the project using the ant build.xml,the execution of bach is ok but the project doesn't work on tomcat.

Did you have the same problem? Have you solve?

Thank you

Hi,

when I followed the tutorial by creating files as explained, I got the below error when I have run the application.

Struts Problem Report

Struts has detected an unhandled exception:
# Messages: There is no Action mapped for action name HelloWorld.

I am got the output when I downloaded the source code and executed.
The reason is index.html need to be modified pointing to the roseindia/HelloWorld.action.


Thanks,
Swetha

Hi it downloaded your zip file and extracted it to my webapps folder in Tomcat5.5. However this example does not seem to work and i get 404 error(other apps with struts 1.1 work fine)
Even the examples given in Apache's Struts site does nt work.
Will you be able to help me out with the probable problem.
regards,
Varun

I've got an error listed below after running example downloaded from your webpage (got the same while trying to do this step by step using tutorial). And yes, I'm using tomcat 6.0.

Hi Madhu,

You download the code and then install on the tomcat. It will work. If you find error please post here.

Thanks

Posted by Deepak Kumar on Wednesday, 07.25.07 @ 17:06pm | #21922

hey let me tell you one thing......
the people who are new to struts2 will try to execute the application but this is not working .
it disappoints me a lot.
............Madhu

Posted by Madhu on Wednesday, 07.25.07 @ 12:34pm | #21904

I known that the full integrated application working but application from tutorial doesn't work. It's good tutorial but maybe some more examples add for work(testing and learn Struts 2) without errors.

Thanks

Posted by Emiliozzz on Tuesday, 07.17.07 @ 12:00pm | #21423

Hi Mahendra,

I have just added a link to download the full integrated application. You download the application and then deploy it on your server. We have fully tested the application so it will 100% work.

Thanks
Deepak Kumar

Posted by Deepak Kumar on Friday, 07.13.07 @ 10:45am | #21188

your configuration does'nt work. I tested twice.

Posted by Mahendra on Friday, 07.13.07 @ 09:03am | #21182

this tutorial is not perfect first of all the first jsp is not there to be ...ie homepage.jsp .....rest all is fine but plz provide the full information one more thing is missing out from this for which i had faced the problem is Xalan.jar file is missing out from it's blank application for this problem it's not running.

Posted by VIkas on Wednesday, 07.11.07 @ 15:34pm | #21086

this is tutorial ??? step by step ? sorry but I think that is some sh... . When we create tutorial we must do this good ... and without problems then application must run (here is that ?)

Here is a work around to get it working in eclipse 3.2. Get WTP plugins for eclipse. Create DynamicWebProject. The below is what the project structure will look like:

projectname --> Name of the projct in eclipse
src
com.yourcompname -->place your java files
strut.xml
web
css ---> This folder contains CSS files
pages ---> This folder contains JSPs
WEB-INF
classes --> classes, strut.xml
lib --> library files
libext --> library files
web.xml
index.jsp or index.html

The below is a build.xml which would deploy the application as war file in JBOSS. This build.xml assumes JBOSS resides in the root location. A little or no modifcation would be required in this file if need be.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- This build file builds for JBoss -->
<project name="strut2application" default="deploy" basedir=".">
<property name="jboss.home.dir" value="/jboss-4.0.0"/>
<property name="jboss.deploy.dir" value="${jboss.home.dir}/server/default/deploy"/>
<property name="src.dir" value="src" />
<property name="cls.dir" value="WebRoot/WEB-INF/classes" />
<property name="web.dir" value="WebRoot"/>
<property name="build.dir" value="build"/>
<property name="war" value="${build.dir}/struts2Proj.war" />
<property name="war.web.xml" value="${web.dir}/WEB-INF/web.xml" />
<property name="web.cls.dir" value="WebRoot/WEB-INF/classes"/>

<!--Clean the project workspace -->
<target name="clean" description="Clean Packaging">
<delete dir="${build.dir}"/>
</target>
<!-- compile -->
<target name="compile" depends="clean" description="o Compile the code">
<javac
srcdir="${src.dir}"
destdir="${cls.dir}"
deprecation="true"
debug="false"
optimize="false">
</javac>
</target>

<!-- copy needed files to build so that we could distribute it -->

<target name="copyfiles" depends="clean">
<copydir src="${cls.dir}" dest="${build.dir}/WEB-INF/classes"></copydir>
<!-- <copyfile src="MessageResources.properties" dest="${build.dir}//WEB-INF/classes/MessageResources.properties"/>-->
<copy todir="${build.dir}">
<fileset dir="${web.dir}"></fileset>
</copy>
</target>

<!-- deploy the application as a war file -->
<target name="web.package" depends="copyfiles" description="Packages the Web classes">
<echo>Generating WAR</echo>
<war warfile="${war}" webxml="${war.web.xml}">
<fileset dir="${build.dir}" includes="**" excludes="${war.web.xml}"/>
</war>
</target>

<target name="deploy" depends="web.package" description="Deploys WAR on Jboss Server">
<echo>Deploying struts2Proj.war</echo>
<copy file="${war}" todir="${jboss.deploy.dir}" overwrite="true"/>
</target>

</project>


That should be it I guess.

Note: We dont need WTP plugin for eclipse if we use WSAD (from IBM) or MyEclipse (from Genuitec). If we use MyEclipse, we dont require even the build.xml as it has a wizard option to deploy our application in exploded or packaged mode in our respective application or web servers


Thanks,

Chandra

The article says that "By default web.xml file of struts blank application is configured to route all the request for *.action through org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher." and the configuration of web.xml is highlighted.

The question is where is '*.action' mentioned in the config? web.xml contains the mapping of all requests, since the URL patters is '/*'.

I think either the text should be fixed, or the mechanism should be cleared up.

The HelloWorld.jsp has to be located in struts2tutorial\roseindia\pages NOT in struts2tutorial\pages as mentioned. The package namespace /roseindia in struts.xml anticipates HelloWorld.jsp in struts2tutorial\roseindia\pages.
It took me a while to figure this out as I am new to struts 2 package declaration.

hi,
Need to run the application in eclipse 3.2. can anybody help me in this regard for running the HelloWorld application.

Posted by priyanka on Wednesday, 06.13.07 @ 18:16pm | #19121

HI,

- We have added index.html file to add the link to call all the tutorials present. You can remove index.html with your project file.
- the build.xml creates the "classes" folder under the src folder...
Acuall build.xml file first compiles the java files and stores in the src/classes directory. Then it creates jar file and place in the WEB-INF/lib directory. So, no need to place compiled files in WEB-INF/classes directory.

Hope this will help you.
Thanks

Posted by Deepak Kumar on Monday, 06.11.07 @ 23:05pm | #18928

Hello, a few things seem wrong in this tutorial:
- how are we supposed to get that Struts 2 tutorial? we never altered index.html from the blank war file.
- the build.xml creates the "classes" folder under the src folder, and not under WEB-INF; doesn't the framework require the classes to be under WEB-INF/classes?

Please let me know how to fix this and make it work, I'd like to have a working skeleton that I could put together as the start of a bigger project.

Thanks,
Session
