This is my first application with struts 2 and have no experience w ith struts 1.

I have Tomcat and downloaded struts 2. And I have a small app. Under Tomcat

'webapps ' I created a new folder for the application (struts01). struts01 folder

has 'WEB-INF' with sub-folder 'classes'. The jsp's are directly under struts01.

web.xml is in WEB-INF and s truts.xml is in WEB-INF/classes. I configured the

actions and results in struts.xml and registered FilterDispatcher in web.xml. Next

I start Tomcat and the browser and invoke an action

"http://localhost/Struts01/some_action". But Tomcat says it cannot find the

resource. (But I can directly access the jsp's from browser.)

Looks like the requests are not going to the struts filterdispatcher. What shouldI do?

Thanks!

The struts2 filter processes the urls w ith the suffix you specify for it in the

web.xml file. I'm not sure if you can set it up to run for urls with no suffix.

The standard suffix for struts2 is .action. If your web.xml is set up to use .action

then the url would be:

http://localhost/Struts01/some_action.action

Post to your web.xml if you want.

Tom, I did use .action extens ion for the request like

http://localhost/Struts01/some_action.action though I did not specify that in my

question.

Nishan, the 6 jar files are in the struts folder I downloaded and extracted.

Where should I include them? And my web.xml is similar to the one you put. By

including the filterdispatcher we tell the container where the starting point for

the requests is. But how will the container know where to look for struts files?

(the path where I extracted struts files? Should I include it in the class path.)

Thanks!

OK. It works. I included those files in lib folder of this particular application under

tomcat. Thanks again guys!

hi Preeti,

I have same problem as earlier you have. I want to know what did you do for

solving this problem. I had a war file for deploying into tomcat server but when I

want to run that project the Server says "resource file not found".

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler,we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
