Problem in calling a method in my Action

[Ramesh Jothimani]

I have a method named handleReportUpdate() in my ReportsConfigurationAction.java . When I try to call handleReportUpdate , I am getting error as ,

java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: com.tcs.admin.actions.ReportsConfigurationAction.handleReportUpdate(org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping, org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse)
at java.lang.Class.getMethod(Class.java:1605)
at org.apache.struts.actions.DispatchAction.getMethod(DispatchAction.java:334)
at org.apache.struts.actions.DispatchAction.dispatchMethod(DispatchAction.java:266)

at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1482)
at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doPost(ActionServlet.java:525)

The Method is as follows :

public ActionForward handleReportUpdate(ActionMapping mapping,HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException
{


}

The entry in struts-config file is as follows :

<action 
path="/admin/reportsconfig"
type="com.tcs.admin.actions.ReportsConfigurationAction"
parameter="parameter"
name="ReportsConfigurationForm"
input = "/admin/ReportsConfigurationInput.jsp"
scope="request"
validate="false">

I am calling the handleReportUpdate() as follows :

/reportsconfig.do?parameter=handleReportUpdate

Please help me to solve the issue . Thanks !

You are probably getting the Exception because the method expected is
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)
throws java.lang.Exception. Just try changing the method name and it might solve your problem.

I have changed

public class ReportsConfigurationAction extends Action

to

public class ReportsConfigurationAction extends DispatchAction

So the method handleReportUpdate() requires ActionForm in the parameter. I have passed ActionForm in function parameter & it is working fine now.

Thanks !
