struts2 package tag namespace

[sarada bokka]

Hi All,

In struts.xml i have included 2 files

<include file="/com/tricky/vo/user.xml"/>
<include file="/com/tricky/vo/project.xml"/>

user.xml uses namespace

tricky

project.xml uses namespace

project

My welcomepage hits the url http://localhost:8080/struts2-login/tricky/showLogin.action from this page i tried to call another action which is having different package name

but the thing is when i am trying to hit , tricky namespace tries to append to url as http://localhost:8080/struts2-login/tricky/project/createproject.action

I want the URL to be like this http://localhost:8080/struts2-login/project/createproject.action (without tricky namespace)

in my jsp i tried to call my action with different options to remove tricky
1) project/createproject
2) /project/createproject
3)../project/createproject

Thanks in advance.

There's no reason to use "quote" tags around single words. Just put things like that in actual "quotes".

You neglected to mention how you're creating the URLs. If you're using the <s:url> tag and creating a link to an action in another namespace you'll need to use the "namespace" attribute.

Thanks for the info.

I am using <s:a action="../project/createproject">create project</s:a>

Hi David,

You mean to try like the below

<s:url namespace="/project" action="createproject">create project</s:url>

This doesn't help me

[David Newton]

I find that unlikely, but okay. Please post your configuration files and the hierarchy of deployed JSPs.

Hi David,

It's working fine.

I have incorporated your inputs of namespace to anchor tag.

<s:a namespace="/project" action="createproject" >create project</s:a>

Oh, right; I didn't even see the wrong tag was being used! Glad you got it working.

i am real newbie to struts... why do we use the namespace attribute in the package tag?\

if i remove the namespace attribute i get the following error.
