I usually code my index.jsp as follows: <jsp:forward page="Welcome.do" />
If your index.jsp isn't being processed through the struts controller, I'm not sure how much the logic tags like that. That should eliminate at least one problem. <<An Obstacle is something you see when you take your eyes off the goal>> -----Original Message----- From: Dean A. Hoover [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 11:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: hiding jsp files under WEB-INF I realized that the subject I filed this under (getting started) may not get attention. So I'm sending it out under this subject. Did some google searching but still don't see what the problem is. ===== I am experimenting with some code from "Struts in Action" but I am moving source code around abit. Specifically, I am moving all of the .jsp files into the WEB-INF directory except index.jsp. This is so that a user cannot hit a given .jsp directly. Anyway, I am getting an exception right from the get go and don't know what I am doing wrong. Here's the relevant pieces: == index.jsp === <%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-logic" prefix="logic" %> <logic:forward name="welcome"/> == Welcome.jsp === <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-trans itional.dtd"> <% taglib uri="/tags/struts-bean" prefix="bean" %> <% taglib uri="/tags/struts-html" prefix="html" %> <% taglib uri="/tags/struts-logic" prefix="logic" %> <html:html xhtml="true"> <head> <title>Welcome World!</title> <html:base/> </head> <body> <logic:present scope="session" name="user"> <h3>Welcome <bean:write name="user" property="username"/>!</h3> </logic:present> <logic:notPresent scope="session" name="user"> <h3>Welcome World!</h3> </logic:notPresent> <html:errors/> <ul> <li><html:link forward="logon">Sign in</html:link></li> <logic:present scope="session" name="user"> <li><html:link forward="logoff">Sign out</html:link></li> </logic:present> </ul> </body> </html:html> === struts-config.xml === <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.0//EN" "http:/jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd"> <struts-config> <form-beans> <form-bean name="registerForm" type="app.RegisterForm"/> <form-bean name="logonForm" type="app.LogonForm"/> </form-beans> <global-forwards> <forward name="welcome" path="/Welcome.do"/> </global-forwards> <action-mappings> <action path="/Welcome" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction" parameter="/WEB-INF/Welcome.jsp"/> <action path="/Logon" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction" parameter="/WEB-INF/Logon.jsp"/> <action path="/LogonSubmit" type="app.LogonAction" name="logonForm" scope="request" validate="true" input="/WEB-INF/Logon.jsp"/> <action path="/Logoff" type="app.LogoffAction"> <forward name="success" path="/WEB-INF/Welcome.jsp"/> </action> <action path="/Register" type="app.RegisterAction" name="registerForm" input="/WEB-INF/Register.jsp" > <forward name="success" path="/WEB-INF/success.jsp"/> <forward name="failure" path="/WEB-INF/failure.jsp"/> </action> </action-mappings> </struts-config> Here's the exception: *exception* javax.servlet.ServletException: Exception forwarding for name welcome: javax.servlet.ServletException org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.doHandlePageException(PageContextI mpl.java:867) org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.handlePageException(PageContextImp l.java:800) org.apache.jsp.index_jsp._jspService(index_jsp.java:66) org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:133) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:856) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:3 11) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:301) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:248) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:856) *root cause* javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Exception forwarding for name welcome: javax.servlet.ServletException org.apache.struts.taglib.logic.ForwardTag.doEndTag(ForwardTag.java:173) org.apache.jsp.index_jsp._jspx_meth_logic_forward_0(index_jsp.java:82) org.apache.jsp.index_jsp._jspService(index_jsp.java:58) org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:133) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:856) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:3 11) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:301) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:248) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:856) What am I doing wrong?
