Struts 2: There is no Action mapped for namespace [/] and action name [actionname]

[Vishal Patidar]

Hello Friends,

I am migrating a project from struts1 to struts2. I am having annotation based action mapping rather xml based. so I removed struts.xml from classpath.

I kept all struts2 jars in my class path no jar file is missing I guess. After configuring one test action I am getting below exception:

There is no Action mapped for namespace [/] and action name [annotationTest] associated with context path [/cfw].

here annotationTest is my action name and cfw is project context path.

Please refer my files to resolve this:

web.xml

<!-- Struts 2 Filter mapping --> <filter> <filter-name>struts2Filter</filter-name> <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class> <init-param> <param-name>struts.devMode</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>actionPackages</param-name> <param-value>com.nextjet.cfw.actions</param-value> </init-param> </filter> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>struts2Filter</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping>



AnnotationTestAction.java

package com.nextjet.cfw.actions;

import org.apache.struts2.convention.annotation.Action;
import org.apache.struts2.convention.annotation.Namespace;
import org.apache.struts2.convention.annotation.Namespaces;
import org.apache.struts2.convention.annotation.ParentPackage;
import org.apache.struts2.convention.annotation.Result;

import com.nextjet.web.struts2.BaseAction;

@Namespace(value="/")
public class AnnotationTestAction extends BaseAction{
	
	@Action(value = "/annotationTest", results = {@Result(name = "success", location = "/cfw/welcome_test.jsp")})
	public String execute(){
		System.out.println("Inside execute");
		return "success";
	}
	
	@Action(value = "/annotationTest2", results = {@Result(name = "success", location = "/welcome_test.jsp")})
	public String test2(){
		System.out.println("Inside test");
		return "success";
	}
	
	@Action(value = "/annotationTest3", results = {@Result(name = "success", location = "welcome_test.jsp")})
	public String test3(){
		System.out.println("Inside test");
		return "success";
	}
	@Action(value = "/annotationTest4", results = {@Result(name = "success", location = "cfw/welcome_test.jsp")})
	public String test4(){
		System.out.println("Inside test");
		return "success";
	}
	
	
	@Action(value = "annotationTest5", results = {@Result(name = "success", location = "/welcome_test.jsp")})
	public String test5(){
		System.out.println("Inside test");
		return "success";
	}
	@Action(value = "annotationTest6", results = {@Result(name = "success", location = "/cfw/welcome_test.jsp")})
	public String test6(){
		System.out.println("Inside test");
		return "success";
	}
	
	@Action(value = "annotationTest7", results = {@Result(name = "success", location = "welcome_test.jsp")})
	public String test7(){
		System.out.println("Inside test");
		return "success";
	}
	@Action(value = "annotationTest8", results = {@Result(name = "success", location = "cfw/welcome_test.jsp")})
	public String test8(){
		System.out.println("Inside test");
		return "success";
	}
	
}


here BaseAction class extends ActionSupport

index.jsp

<h2>welcome to cfw </h2> <a href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/annotationTest"> 1 Click Here</a> <a href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/annotationTest2"> 2 Click Here</a> <a href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/annotationTest3"> 3 Click Here</a> <a href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/annotationTest4"> 4 Click Here</a> <a href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/annotationTest5"> 5 Click Here</a> <a href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/annotationTest6"> 6 Click Here</a> <a href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/annotationTest6"> 7 Click Here</a> <a href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/annotationTest6"> 8 Click Here</a>


I have attached one image file for project structure.

When I build this project using build script it makes a war file name: cfw.war, inside this war file all the jsps are kept where my welcome_test.jsp is kept. all the class files are in a jar file name web-customer.jar, where my AnnotationTestAction.class is there in the jar file.

I am able to load index.jsp but when I tried to click above metioned links I get this error:

There is no Action mapped for namespace [/] and action name [annotationTest5] associated with context path [/cfw].

all the links give no action mapped error. I know I m missing something wrong but not able to identify. please post your solutions.

Thanks in advance :-)

What JAR files are you using?
You should not be putting your application JAR dependencies in the CLASSPATH, they should be in the WEB-INF/lib directory. If you put JAR dependencies in the CLASSPATH and your web server has conflicts with those dependencies, you can encounter difficult-to-debug errors.
The Struts annotations appear to depend on the Convention Plugin. Have you installed and configured this plugin?

I'm sorry. my jar files are kept at WEB-INF/lib only I did not put inside classpath. It was written by mistake.
below is the list of jar files:

asm-3.1.jar
commons-fileupload-1.2.2.jar
commons-io-2.0.1.jar
commons-lang-2.4.jar
commons-lang3-3.1.jar
commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
commons-logging-api-1.1.jar
freemarker-2.3.19.jar
javassist-3.11.0.GA.jar
javax.servlet_2.0.0.0_3-0.jar
ognl-3.0.6.jar
struts2-convention-plugin-2.3.16.3.jar
struts2-core-2.3.16.jar
struts2-dojo-plugin-2.3.16.jar
xwork-core-2.3.16.jar

can somebody please look into it. I'm still stuck at it.

i guess you should write action name attribute instead of value attribute.
