Hi all
This might sound off topic, but I had already posted this in Eclipse WTP
newsgroup, but couldn't resolve it yet. So I thought someone here might
have already faced this problem.
I configured Eclipse WTP for a struts-enabled web application. When I ran
my application using "run on server" option, it gives a 404 error.
Below is my configuration:
Java - 1.4.2_13
Tomcat 5.5.23 with Java 1.4 compatible jars
Struts 2.0.6 with Java 1.4 compatible jars
Eclipse WTP 3.2.2
I created a new "dynamic web project" with Tomcat 5.5 as runtime, "r5sis"
as "context root" and "WebContent" as "Content Directory". I copied the
struts jars to the "WebContent/WEB-INF/lib" folder. The jsp files are
placed in "WebContent/WEB-INF/jsp" folder.
Find below my struts.xml and web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<struts>
<!-- Include Struts 2 default (from Struts 2 JAR). -->
<include file="struts-default.xml"/>
<!-- Configuration for the default package. -->
<package name="default" extends="struts-default">
<!-- Default interceptor stack. -->
<action name="login"
class="gov.epa.r5sis.struts.action.LoginAction" >
<result name="success"
type="dispatcher">/WEB-INF/jsp/welcome.jsp</result>
<result name="error"
type="redirect">/WEB-INF/jsp/login.jsp</result>
</action>
<action name="logout2"
class="gov.epa.r5sis.struts.action.LoginAction" method="logout" >
<result name="success"
type="redirect">/WEB-INF/jsp/login.jsp</result>
</action>
<action name="logout"
class="gov.epa.r5sis.struts.action.LogoutAction" >
<result name="success"
type="redirect">/WEB-INF/jsp/login.jsp</result>
</action>
</package>
</struts>

</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>
When I run the application by using "run on server" option, the tomcat
server starts without a problem and opens the url "http://localhost
:8080/r5sis/" in the browser.
It gives a 404 error, saying "The requested resource (/r5sis/) is not
available." "r5sis" is my project name. Also the project is placed only in
the eclipse workspace and not in the "<tomcat dir>/webapps" folder. Even
"localhost:8080/index.jsp" gives a 404 error.
When I tried running Tomcat from the command prompt, it runs properly and
"localhost:8080/index.jsp" works fine.So the Tomcat is not working fine
inside Eclipse WTP. Please let me know what went wrong.
A member in eclipse mailing list suggest to place the welcome file in the
"WebContent" folder and try. So I just created a "index.htm" file with
just "Hello world!", in the "WebContent" folder and modified the web.xml
as:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
But still it is not working, please help!
Thanks
