Module and Validation Framework (path error)

[Chris Wimmer]

Hi,

I am running Tomcat 5.5 with Struts 1.2.8 and I want to use modules and the Struts validation framework.
Additional I want that my JSP pages are private that means not directly callable from the user. Therefore I put them inside the WEB-INF directory beneath my web application in directory "/WEB-INF/pages/archivewizard".
The web application has more steps to collect data and at the end the data is saved (wizard).

Now I've a big problem especially with the validation framework. I've a module called "wizard" and a corresponding wizard-config.xml file.

In the main JSP-page this wizard is started with:
<html:link module="/wizard" page="/startArchiveCreate.do">Create wizard</html:link>


The wizard works very well (next, previous, cancel), but if an validation error occures the JSP page navigated to can not be found!
The tomcat error message is:
type Status report
message /wizard/WEB-INF/pages/archivewizard/EnterName.jsp
description The requested resource (/wizard/WEB-INF/pages/archivewizard/EnterName.jsp) is not available.


The used path is not correct (the preceeding /wizard) and it differs from the input-path.


Why can the JSP page not be found after validation, but during input?




---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The wizard-config.xml file contains the following action-mapping:

<action-mappings>
<action path="/default"
type="com.opentext.struts.action.SuccessAction" >
<forward name="success" path="/Welcome.do" contextRelative="true" redirect="true" />
</action>

<action path="/startArchiveCreate"
type="com.opentext.struts.action.SuccessForwardAction">
<forward module="" name="success" path="/WEB-INF/pages/archivewizard/EnterName.jsp" contextRelative="true" redirect="false" />
</action>
<action path="/typeStoreFwd"
type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
parameter="/WEB-INF/pages/archivewizard/TypeStore.jsp" />
<action path="/storageSystemContainerFwd"
type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
parameter="/WEB-INF/pages/archivewizard/StorageSystemContainer.jsp" />
<action path="/storageSystemSingleFwd"
type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
parameter="/WEB-INF/pages/archivewizard/StorageSystemSingle.jsp" />
<action path="/settingsFwd"
type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
parameter="/WEB-INF/pages/archivewizard/Settings.jsp" />
<action path="/archiveOverviewFwd"
type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
parameter="/WEB-INF/pages/archivewizard/ArchiveOverview.jsp" />
<action path="/errorFwd"
type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
parameter="/WEB-INF/pages/common/error.jsp" />

<!-- create archive wizard -->
<action path="/enterName"
type="com.opentext.struts.action.CreateArchiveWizardAction"
name="createArchiveWizardForm"
attribute="archivewizard"
scope="session"
input="/WEB-INF/pages/archivewizard/EnterName.jsp"
validate="true">
<forward name="next" path="/wizard/typeStoreFwd.do" contextRelative="true" />
<forward name="cancel" path="/wizard/default.do" contextRelative="true" />
<forward name="failure" path="/wizard/errorFwd.do" contextRelative="true" />
</action>

....

</action-mappings>
