There is no Action mapped for namespace / and action name tutorial

Question

I am unable to execute my struts2 application. I am using eclipse indigo IDE, tomcat 7 and jdk 1.7.

The jar files I included are:

• commons-logging-1.0.4.jar

Answer 1

Try to add namespace attribute into you package element of struts.xml file.

Like this:

<struts>
<package name="default" extends="struts-default" namespace="/">
    <action name="tutorial" class="com.test.TutorialAction">
        <result name="success">/success.jsp</result>
        <result name="failure">/failure.jsp</result>
    </action>
</package>
</struts>

Answer 2

As others have pointed out, you do not have a getTutorial action in your mapping, only a "tutorial". However, I'm going to skip over that and suggest that you learn how to sanity check a Struts2 app. Anytime you are setting up a new technology, and even when you are working with a familiar technology, it is very useful to understand how to do a basic sanity check -- in this case, you need to verify that your struts xml has been successfully parsed and the framework knows about your actions.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you add the Struts 2 Config Browser plugin to your struts 2 apps. To add the plugin, you just get the jar ( all struts 2 plugins are jars ) and put in your webapp's lib directory. That's it. When you start your applicaiton, hit this URL:

http://localhost:8080/starter/config-browser/index.action

And it shows you all of the actions, as well as other configurations, that the framework knows about. Essentialy struts 2 diagnostic tool, and too easy to use to not use it.

I had the same problem and I saw multiple posts on this one....here is the possible solution

I was pretty sure that I had mapped all my actions accurately, but it was showing the same error above....so I just cleaned the project and then ran it again..it worked perfectly fine...give it a try !

I encountered this so many times...so to avoid such kind of things, I just added "../eclipse.exe -clean" to the shortcut icon property....this works and u can forget about getting such kind of errors which is actually not an error....!

Answer 4

The error comes because the server is not able to find correct path for struts.xml . Its better to put the struts.xml in parallel to src folder or in WEB-INF/classes.

Answer 5

Try this once don't append .action

<form action="tutorial">

place your struts.xml file in src outside the package or in WEB-INF classes folder.
