Question

I'm running weblogic 10.3.5 with mavenized struts 2/spring application. the application runs fine when published to server via eclipse but when i export the application to a .war file and deploy via the admin console and run it it gives me error with following stacktrace.

[[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '8' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'] WARN org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.Dispatcher - Could not find action or result: /eServices/login.action There is no Action mapped for namespace [/] and action name [login] associated with context path [/eServices]. - [unknown location] at com.opensymphony.xwork2.DefaultActionProxy.prepare(DefaultActionProxy.java:185) at org.apache.struts2.impl.StrutsActionProxy.prepare(StrutsActionProxy.java:63) at org.apache.struts2.impl.StrutsActionProxyFactory.createActionProxy(StrutsActionProxyFactory.java:37) at com.opensymphony.xwork2.DefaultActionProxyFactory.createActionProxy(DefaultActionProxyFactory.java:58) at org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.Dispatcher.serviceAction(Dispatcher.java:552) at org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.ExecuteOperations.executeAction(ExecuteOperations.java:77) at org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter.doFilter(StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter.java:99) at weblogic.servlet.internal.FilterChainImpl.doFilter(FilterChainImpl.java:56) at oracle.security.jps.ee.http.JpsAbsFilter$1.run(JpsAbsFilter.java:111) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at oracle.security.jps.util.JpsSubject.doAsPrivileged(JpsSubject.java:313) at oracle.security.jps.ee.util.JpsPlatformUtil.runJaasMode(JpsPlatformUtil.java:413) at oracle.security.jps.ee.http.JpsAbsFilter.runJaasMode(JpsAbsFilter.java:94) at oracle.security.jps.ee.http.JpsAbsFilter.doFilter(JpsAbsFilter.java:161) at oracle.security.jps.ee.http.JpsFilter.doFilter(JpsFilter.java:71) at weblogic.servlet.internal.FilterChainImpl.doFilter(FilterChainImpl.java:56) at oracle.dms.servlet.DMSServletFilter.doFilter(DMSServletFilter.java:136) at weblogic.servlet.internal.FilterChainImpl.doFilter(FilterChainImpl.java:56) at weblogic.servlet.internal.WebAppServletContext$ServletInvocationAction.wrapRun(WebAppServletContext.java:3715) at weblogic.servlet.internal.WebAppServletContext$ServletInvocationAction.run(WebAppServletContext.java:3681) at weblogic.security.acl.internal.AuthenticatedSubject.doAs(AuthenticatedSubject.java:321) at weblogic.security.service.SecurityManager.runAs(SecurityManager.java:120) at weblogic.servlet.internal.WebAppServletContext.securedExecute(WebAppServletContext.java:2277) at weblogic.servlet.internal.WebAppServletContext.execute(WebAppServletContext.java:2183) at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletRequestImpl.run(ServletRequestImpl.java:1454) at weblogic.work.ExecuteThread.execute(ExecuteThread.java:209) at weblogic.work.ExecuteThread.run(ExecuteThread.java:178)

I found couple posts suggesting to add struts.properties file with following configurations in my class-path but did not solve my issue.

struts.convention.action.mapAllMatches = true struts.convention.action.includeJars=.?/eServices.?jar(!/)? struts.convention.action.fileProtocols=jar,zip

any help to understand or fix this issue would be great! :)

following is my struts.xml, I have used annotation based configuration for mapping the actions to its results.

<!-- Struts Constants that override the struts.properties file -->
<constant name="struts.devMode" value="false" />
<constant name="struts.custom.i18n.resources" value="global" />
<constant name="struts.ui.theme" value="simple" />
<!-- <constant name="struts.ui.theme" value="css_xhtml" /> -->

following is the web.xml:

<display-name>eServices</display-name>
<welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>

    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener>

    <!-- Needed to manage the Java based @Configuration classes for Spring -->
    <context-param>
        <param-name>contextClass</param-name>
        <param-value>
         org.springframework.web.context.support.AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext
        </param-value>
    </context-param>
    <context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>com.ceiwc.es.config</param-value>
    </context-param>

    <!-- Handles Strut2 URL requests -->
    <filter>
        <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
        <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
    </filter>
    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
Was it helpful?

Solution

Here is the solution that finally worked! I added the following Struts2 properties: 

<constant name="struts.convention.action.includeJars" value=".*?\.jar(!/|/)?" />
<constant name="struts.convention.action.fileProtocols" value="jar,zip" />

This was based on what I found in this post.

Also, what also may help is adding this property to weblogic.xml:

<wls:container-descriptor>
    <wls:prefer-web-inf-classes>true</wls:prefer-web-inf-classes>
</wls:container-descriptor>
