Keith a few questions… when you say “MyEclipse version: 2.07” do you mean 2.7RC2? (version from About page, plugin information is 2.6.200). Also the JDK version you are using is important, what does ‘java -version’ in the console spit out?

Also the typical way to get struts working with a new or existing project:
1) Create new Web Module Project
2) Right click on node, “Add Struts Capabilities”
3) Open the struts-config and see if you get the custom struts editor and nice outline view.

We will need to know how you are trying to use MyEclipse to get struts support. For example, I don’t know if you have tried these steps and are having a problem or if you are just trying to open a struts-config file dry and haven’t added Struts Capabilities to your project yet. These types of details help us troubleshoot your problem.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. It is 2.7RC2.
I am getting a 404 error .

inHTTP Status 404 – /kllogger

I have my struts config in the WebRoot folder named kllogger. here is the stuts config file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.1//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd">
<struts-config>
    <data-sources />
    <form-beans>
        <form-bean name="RunTodayForm" type="com.keith_lockey.logger.form.RunTodayForm"/>
    </form-beans>
    
    <global-exceptions />
    <global-forwards />
    
    <action-mappings>
    <action    path      = "/today"
               type      = "com.keith_lockey.logger.action.RunTodayAction"
               name      = "RunTodayForm"
               scope     = "request"
               validate  = "true"
     > 
        <forward name="Success" path="/RunningLog.jsp"/>    
    </action>
    </action-mappings>
    <controller />
</struts-config>

Are you running Tomcat from MyEclipse? Did you set it up correctly in Window->Preferences->MyEclipse->Application Servers->Tomcat 4? Did you make sure to setup Eclipse to use a JDK instead of a JRE? Did you setup a deployment for your project to the Tomcat 4 application server?

i am able to get struts working when i import the jars and put tld in the web-inf. but i added struts capabilities to this new project and try to get it work, and it wont. must be config or web.xml i would think

Thanks,
Keith

Let’s see if we can isolate the problem.

1) First verify that when you start Tomcat from MyEclipse you can access it correctly. Launch Tomcat from MyEclipse and see if you can access any of the following URLs (assumes examples loaded with TC install and TC is listening on port 8080):

http://localhost:8080/jsp-examples/index.html
http://localhost:8080/tomcat-docs/index.html

2) The name of your project will be the web-context. So I assume your project has the following structure:

      klogger/
         <yourwebroot>/
             <webcontent>
              WEB-INF/
                   classes/
                   lib/

3) When you get a 404 error try:

a) Inspect the deployed web-app in <tomcat>/webapps/klogger and verify that it exists and is not missing any elements

b) Add a helloworld.html file to the <webroot> folder and invoke from browser. If you can’t see it then your problem is more fundamental than Struts

4) When “Adding Struts Capabilities…” the wizard will add Struts libs and TLDs to your project, update your web.xml, and create the struts-config.xml file. I’m not sure why you are able to perform this process manually but then not through the “Add Struts Cap…” wizard. How are you deploying, exploded format or archived?

Let us know how this turns out and we then we can delve deeper.

I am also working with struts but I have this problem:

HTTP ERROR: 500 Exception creating bean of class com.sih.action.LoginActionForm: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sih.action.LoginActionForm
RequestURI=/SIHWeb/index.jsp

I am using jboss3.2.1

This is my struts-config.xml:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC “-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.0//EN” “http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_0.dtd”&gt;
<struts-config>
<form-beans>
<form-bean name=”loginForm” type=”com.sih.action.LoginActionForm”/>
</form-beans>

<action-mappings>
<action path=”/setupSIH” forward=”/inicioSIH.jsp”/>

<action path=”/login”
type=”com.sih.action.loginAction”
name=”loginForm”
scope=”request”
validate=”false” >
<forward
name=”success”
path=”/inicioSIH.jsp”/>
<forward
name=”falied”
path=”/falloSIH.jsp”/>
</action>

<!– <message-resources parameter=”com.sih.struts.ApplicationResources” /> –>
</action-mappings>

</struts-config>

Thanks,

Jenny
