dispatch and redirect-action

[FY Hsieh]

I use

**********************

<action name="viewOrder" class=".." ..>
<result name="success" type="dispatch">getOrder</result>
</action>

<action name="getOrder" class=".." ..>
<result name="success">/jsp/getOrder.jsp</result>
</action>
**********************

It works fine with http://../viewOrder?custId=..

But it fails when I use

*************************
<action name="viewOrder" class=".." ..>
<result name="success" type="redirect-dispatch">getOrder</result>
</action>

<action name="getOrder" class=".." ..>
<result name="success">/jsp/getOrder.jsp</result>
</action>
******************************

it shows me action "getOrder is not mapped this time.

Don't know what mistake I made.

[FY Hsieh]

correct -- when I used

type="chain"

it worked, and when I used

type="redirect-action"

it failed.

What is the *exact* error message you're getting? What's the stack trace? Have you checked your configuration using the config-browser plugin?

The error message is always the same ---

org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.Dispatcher serviceAction Could not find action or result
There is no Action mapped for action name xxxx

where "xxxx" is the action I want to use redirect-action to redirect to

I have already defined the action and it should be fine because if I call that action "xxxx" directly it works fine.

Another thing is --- if I change the type to "redirect" and use the FULL path in <result type="redirect"> http://localhost:80/app/xxx.action </result> it works. But whenver I change the full path to the action name itself it always shows me "There is no Action mapped for the action.."

As per my understanding

YOu trying to call action class which extends DispatchAction.

I am new to struts I was doing doing like

I have a hidden variable like

  <html:hidden property="do" value="save" />  

in Struts config file you need to provide parameter="do" in the corresponding action.

or you can call the javascript function to submit action like

  document.forms[0].action="/projectname/actionpath.do?do=save&Id="+id;
           document.forms[0].submit();  

thats all you need to do. It works for me let me know.

@Jaisai Vijay: Wrong version of Struts.

[David Newton]

What version of Struts 2 are you using? Are there any errors in the log on startup? I ask because as of Struts 2.1 the correct result type is "redirectAction" (not "redirect-action").

Hello David,

I am using Struts1.2 anyway I don't see any errors it perfectly works for me. If FY Hsieh is using different version I am sorry for that.

I was asking the original poster for the Struts version--by looking at the configuration supplied by the original poster it's clear that you and he are using completely different versions.

I am using struts 2. Actually I have tried both "redirectAction" and "redirect-action" They gave me the same error

Have you checked your configuration using the config-browser plugin?

Have you turned logging up to DEBUG level and checked the logs on startup for errors?
