URL - getting appended

[Rohit Rai]

Hi!
I have this strange problem in a sample struts application i am doing. What is happening is that when i redirect the result to index page it is getting appended to the url.
e.g if my url is as follows:
http://localhost:8080/TestApp/mytest/authenticateUser.action

this will get me to a jsp page where i have a logout link.

On click of this link i need to go back to index page.

When i click on logout it is redirecting me to index.jsp but the
URL is getting malformed as shown below

http://localhost:8080/TestApp/mytest/mytest/login.action

this extra mytest is getting appended.

My xml is as follows.
<action name="logout" method="logout" class="com.test.TestAction">
<result name="success">/index.jsp</result>
</action>

Inside TestAction
public class TestAction ....
{
..........
..........
public String logout()
{
//code to invalid session n other stuff
return SUCCESS;
}
}

Any pointers as to why this is happening?

Thanks,

Rohit

How are you calling 'logout' action form your jsp page, Pl post the real code of JSP page which contains Action URL !

This is javascript submit i am using:

function testLogout()
{
document.myForm.action="test/login.action";
document.myForm.submit;
}

Thanks,

Try

function testLogout()
{
document.myForm.action="[B]/login.action[/B]";
document.myForm.submit;
}

Hi!
Thanks a lot. Needed a small modification.

document.myForm.action="login.action";

in place of

document.myForm.action="/login.action";

Thanks a lot for the help.

Regards,

Rohit

You are welcome..
Actually that small "/" plays an important role deciding the module in which the action to be searched .. I'm not familiar with Struts 2, anyway I logically provided you with an answer & It helped you !!

Yup you are right.
