Problem with resultType "dispatcher" when using sitemesh

[Thomas Hermann]

Hello,

I have a problem with the resultType "dispatcher" when using sitemesh along with the StrutsFilter: In my struts.xml (see below) I have configured an action (myAction1) that forward the request (result-type=dispatcher) to another Action (myAction2) that display the view. In my web.xml(see below) I configure the StrutsFilter in the recommended way when using sitemesh (http://struts.apache.org/release/2.1.x/docs/webxml.html).

When I check the network traffic with firebug I see:

"GET myAction1.html  404 Not found"

Why the forwarding does not work with my configuration?

Remarks:
*The result type "redirect" would work in principle.
*I'm using Stuts2 Version 2.3.15.3
*In struts.properties: struts.action.extension=html

struts.xml
-------------------------

     <action name="myAction1" class="requestAction" method="method1">

     </action>
     <action name="myAction2" class="requestAction" method="method2">
          <result name="success">/WEB-INF/pages/page.jsp
          </result>
     </action>

--------------------------

web.xml

        <filter-name>struts-prepare</filter-name>

Thanks,
Thomas

But when I invoke "myAction1", I run into an Error: stackoverflow in tomcat caused by a looping (JasperException). <result name="success" type="dispatcher">/path/myAction2.html</result>
