Thanks for the responses. That was indeed the problem.

Re: Using friendly names for application entry points

[David Graham]

Additionally, you could make your entry point the directory's index page 
without using the index in the url:

http://mycorp.com/struts/login/

would reference the index.jsp in the login directory.

index.jsp would forward to index.do so it would go through the struts 
controller.  The action mapped to index.do would simply forward to 
index2.jsp (or something else).  You can use the struts ForwardAction to do 
this easily.

Re: Using friendly names for application entry points

[Dave Derry]

Try
Notice the '.do'; it has to do with the servlet mapping. You apparently have
*.do mapped to the the Struts ActionServlet, but Jasper doesn't know what to
do with performLogin.

RE: Using friendly names for application entry points

[James Higginbotham]

Your problem is that you are probably deploying the struts action with a
.do mapping, whereas your user friendly name doesn't end in that
extension and thus it never hits the struts framework for your global
forward to work. 

Try writing or locating a servlet that you can map to that friendly name
that will do a dispatch to the appropriate login .do. The form itself
could post to your .do, but if you want a user-friendly entry point that
you can publish or give verbally, your /performLogin would be a servlet
that forwards to your login.do. Its about 2 lines of servlet code and an
entry in your web.xml to do what you want.

Re: Using friendly names for application entry points

[Eddie Bush]

I don't think you can specify a forward for the action of a form, can 
you?  I'm not sure what Ted would define as "entry points", but here are 
what I think of as "entry points":

index.do
index.html
default.asp
index.asp
home.asp
home.html
login.html :-)

I think what he's saying is that something like usrSecChk.do?op=li (User 
Security Check - operation = login) is not terribly intuative for most 
folks, and that something should be used which is more "friendly" - more 
"natural-language like" - and, perhaps, something non-sophisticated 
users would be able to easily identify as a valid "web name".  Following 
this definition of "friendly entry points", I think login is entirely 
acceptable.

Using friendly names for application entry points

[K Br]

The husted Struts site recommends that all application
entry points be given friendly names using the
global-forwards mapping table. Following this advice,
I converted

   
  //...
   

to

   
  //...
   

by adding the global-forwards entry


  

//...
  

I thought this made my JSP friendlier but I get the
Jasper exception:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Cannot retrieve mapping for action /performLogin

What am I missing?
