The code of IndexAction doesn't matter, as before I set "actionPackages" it wasn't even going there at all. In any case, it's execute() method just returns SUCCESS. The two "index.jsp" files are not identical. I even tried renaming the second one to "index2.jsp" (and changing the reference), but that made no difference.
I'm starting over on this process, just starting from scratch building a "hello, world". I'm not seeing this symptom yet, but I'm seeing other issues that are certainly unrelated. > -----Original Message----- > From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Laurie Harper > Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2008 11:26 AM > To: user@struts.apache.org > Subject: Re: Index.jsp hit 20 times and fails with "The page > isn't redirecting properly" > > What does the index action look like?
