Hello All,
I am an experienced programmer, but inexperienced in web programming and
a total newbie to struts.
Struts looks like it will be very useful to my web programming so I have
ventured into the tutorials to
start learning how to use it. I ran the first tutorial 'basic_struts'
successfully. Next, I am trying to
run the 'Hello World' tutorial, but it is failing. I could use some
suggestions on what may be wrong and
some suggestions on debug methodology when using struts. Or at least
pointers on where to looking
for debugging techniques. I am trying to do some reading to teach
myself, but I'm floundering at this
point.
I'm running crunchbang Linux, using firefox 30.0, which is close to the
latest edition. By the way, I'm
aware of the firefox 'web console' but a beginner with that tool so I
have not taken advantage of it so far.
I'm running the tomcat6 server on my localhost.
I have read the tutorial for 'Hello World' from:
*
*file:///usr/share/struts/struts-2.3.16.3/docs/hello-world-using-struts-2.html
I have read each step in that tutorial and verified that the source code
explained in the tutorial
is in my sand box. I ran 'mvn clean project' and got a successful build.
Then then copied the
hello_world.war file to:
* * /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/hello_world
*
*enter the URL:
http://localhost:8080/hello_world/index.action
in the address box on Firefox and got the following error from tomcat:
----------------Start Error
Window-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HTTP Status 404 - /hello_world/index.action
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*type* Status report
*message* _/hello_world/index.action_
*description* _The requested resource (/hello_world/index.action) is not
available._
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apache Tomcat/6.0.35
-------------------End Error Window
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My other webapps run ok out of /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps, so I at least
know my environment is set up
correctly, at least for the most part. When I check directory
permissions from the /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/hello_world
directory, I get:
% ls -ld . *
drwxr-xr-x 2 jimA jimA 4096 Jul 2 09:15 .
-rw-r--r-- 1 jimA jimA 3991999 Jul 4 15:29 hello_world.war
I thought about attaching the hello_world.war file, but because it is
4M-bytes, I decided not to. If someone would like
to see it, I can provide it or a portion of it.
I feel like there is an obvious error in my set up, but I cannot see it.
Can anyone offer some suggestions?
Regards,
Jim Anderson
