There is no Action mapped for namespace [/] and action name [Test] associated with context path [/TestStruts]. - [unknown location]

Question

I'm trying my first application on struts 2.3.16 in NetBeans 7.2.1. It shows the following error on entering a URL - http://localhost:8080/TestStruts/Test.action (There is a Test.jsp page).

WARNING: Could not find action or result: /TestStruts/Test.action
There is no Action mapped for namespace [/] and action name [Test] associated with context path [/TestStruts]. - [unknown location]

The Test.jsp page:

<s:form namespace="/TestStruts" action="test">
    <table border="0" class="">
            <tr>

                <td>
                    <s:textfield id="name" name="name" label="Enter your name"/>
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>
                    <s:textfield id="email" name="email" label="Enter your email"/>
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td></td>
                <td><s:submit value="Submit"/></td>
            </tr>
    </table>            

</s:form>

The action class:

package actions;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;

public final class TestAction extends ActionSupport
{
    private static final String SUCCESS = "success";
    private String name;
    private String email;

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getEmail() {
        return email;
    }

    public void setEmail(String email) {
        this.email = email;
    }

    @Override
    public String execute() throws Exception
    {
        System.out.println("name = "+name);
        System.out.println("email = "+email);
        return SUCCESS;
    }
}

In addition to jar files of Spring, I have added the following jar files to the classpath.

• commons-beanutils-1.8.0.jar

When the URL is changed to .jsp from .action like http://localhost:8080/TestStruts/Test.jsp, it shows the following warnings.

Dec 22, 2013 9:00:44 PM org.apache.struts2.components.ServletUrlRenderer warn
WARNING: No configuration found for the specified action: 'test' in namespace: '/TestStruts'. Form action defaulting to 'action' attribute's literal value.
Dec 22, 2013 9:00:45 PM org.apache.struts2.components.ServletUrlRenderer warn
WARNING: No configuration found for the specified action: 'test' in namespace: '/TestStruts'. Form action defaulting to 'action' attribute's literal value.

What am I missing?

Answer 1

Because /TestStruts is a context path at which deployed your application. It has the same path as namespace in your package. Try

http://localhost:8080/TestStruts/TestStruts/test.action

When URls is rendering from the struts tags it's trying to find a corresponding action configuration. If there's no config found the warning is issued.
