Question

I must be missing something here. I have the following struts.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <struts>
       <package name="myName" namespace="/myName" extends="struts-default">
        <action name="contact" class="com.ccarc.Contact">
           <result>/jsp/Contact.jsp</result>
           <result name="success">/jsp/Contact.jsp</result>
        </action>
   </package>
</struts>

I am getting the following error No result defined for action com.ccarc.Contact and result success

and for my class I have the following (I took out some of the code to make it more readable)

package com.ccarc;

import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;

public class Contact extends ActionSupport {

    public String execute() {
        System.out.println("in the action");

        return SUCCESS; // as defined by Action interface as "success"
    }
}

I have looked around and have not found an answer, most are asked by people that forgot the name in the result (but as you can see I have the name success listed)

Also my web.xml file is below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>`
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0">
 <display-name>myApp</display-name>

  <filter>
     <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
     <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher</filter-class>
     <init-param>
         <param-name>actionPackages</param-name>
         <param-value>com.ccarc</param-value>
     </init-param>
</filter>

  <filter-mapping>
      <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
      <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>
</web-app>

I should also note that I have tried chaning the class in the struts.xml to just "Contact" and I still get the same error message.

I have also verified that /WebConent/classes/com/ccarc/Contact.class does exist.

Also I should note in the console of eclipse I am seeing the out put from the class, so the object is being called, but when it returns from the class is where the issue is coming up.

Here is the full stack trace

Solution

EDIT:

Change your URL to:

http://localhost:8080/FieldDayLogger/myName/contact.action

Or if you want to use the same URL then change the namespace to "/" in your struts.xml.

Here is a good link to understand namespace configuration and explanation. :)

OTHER TIPS

One of the reason for this is the URL http://localhost:8080/FieldDayLogger/contact.action in you mapping file <package name="myName" namespace="/myName" extends="struts-default"> you have defined you namespace as /myName while you are not using in your URL.

Struts2 have a mechanism by which it looks for the namespace and if nothing found will go to the default one, in your case its unable to find it.

Namespace are not hierarchical like a file system path. There is one namespace level. For example if the URL /barspace/myspace/bar.action is requested, the framework will first look for namespace /barspace/myspace. If the action does not exist at /barspace/myspace, the search will immediately fall back to the default namespace "". The framework will not parse the namespace into a series of "folders". In the Namespace Example, the bar action in the default namespace would be selected.

I strongly suggest you to look at the doc of namespace and see how it works

namespace-configuration

another solution is if you are creating action in your from tag or other such tag there is a property namely namespace add /myName to that.

hope this will help you.

I guess "contact" like is a key word in Struts2. please rename com.ccarc.Contact to com.ccarc.MyContact and try again...

It's better to use namespace always. you can use namespace="/" if the files are to be accessed is inside WebContent or you can use any name other than "/" according to your directory structure of file.

Try the following.

<package name="myName" namespace="/myName" extends="struts-default">
        <action name="contact" class="com.ccarc.Contact">
           <result name="success">jsp/Contact.jsp</result>
        </action>

I was missing definition in tiles.xml:

<tiles-definitions>

...

  <definition name="foobar" template="/jsp/template.jsp">
    <put-attribute name="viewId" value="foobar"/>
    <put-attribute name="workArea"  value="/jsp/foobar.jsp"/>
  </definition>

...

</tiles-definitions>
