Hi, I have configured my app as follow: $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> <Context path="/Core1" docBase="Core1" debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true"> <Resource name="jdbc/TestDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000" username="iam" password="mypass" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydb?autoReconnect=true"/> </Context> </host>
This tells the servlet container that the Core1 application has a connection pool ready to be used Then in the WEB-INF/web.xml i have: <listener> <listener-class> com.core.listener.ResourceManagerListener </listener-class> </listener> <servlet> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <servlet-class> org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet </servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>config</param-name> <param-value> /WEB-INF/struts-config.xml </param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>debug</param-name> <param-value>2</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>detail</param-name> <param-value>2</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <session-config> <session-timeout> 30 </session-timeout> </session-config> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file> index.jsp </welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> <error-page> <exception-type>Exception</exception-type> <location>/WEB-INF/error/error.jsp</location> </error-page> <resource-ref> <description>DB connection</description> <res-ref-name>jdbc/TestDB</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> The above tell the servlet container that the appication Core1 uses struts framework which handle all requests ended with .do. Finally, the struts-config.xml: <global-forwards> <forward name="main" path="/index.jsp"/> <forward name="login" path="/authentication/login.jsp"/> <forward name="testS" path="testStruts.jsp"/> </global-forwards> <action-mappings> <!-- <action path="/Welcome" forward="/welcomeStruts.jsp"/> --> <action path="/testStruts" type="com.core.servlet.testStruts"/> <action path="/authentication" type="com.core.servlet.Authentication"/> <action path="/protected/financial" type="com.core.servlet.Financial"> <forward name="/protected/financialDisplay" path="/financial/financialDisplay.jsp"/> <forward name="/protected/financialInput" path="/financial/financialInput.jsp"/> <forward name="/protected/financialManager" path="/financial/financialManager.jsp"/> <forward name="/protected/financialSearch" path="/financial/financialSearch.jsp"/> </action> <action path="/protected/financialProcess" type="com.core.servlet.FinancialProcessor"/> </action-mappings> Now, I have a testStruts class which extends Action class as follow: public class testStruts extends Action { public ActionForward perform( ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException, UserInputException, InternalException { System.out.println("print of this method is invoked"); return mapping.findForward("testS"); } } and the testStruts.jsp is just a normal jsp file in WEB-INF folder. When I try to access testStruts.do (the controler) from my browser: http://localhost:8084/Core1/testStruts.do i though the testStruts.jsp will be displayed but there is nothing happen. I got a blank page. The testStruts class doesnt seem to be invoked anyway because nothing is print out in the console.
