I have a new installation of MyEclipse 5.5 Version: 5.5.0 Milestone 2 Build id: 20070409-5.5.0-Milestone2 with Apache Tomcat . I have a working struts solution that someone else deployed. I have, what appears to be a working set of code. When I use MyEclipse to execute the default.jsp I get the following message:

HTTP Status 503 – Servlet action is currently unavailable
——————————————————————————–
type Status report

message Servlet action is currently unavailable

description The requested service (Servlet action is currently unavailable) is not currently available.

——————————————————————————–
Apache Tomcat/5.5.17

Maybe I don’t have something configured right. Is there a sample struts app – bare bones, that I can use to test my configuration? My project is a java project with web project and struts enabled.

This is very frustrating since it is in production and working, I just can’t set up the site on my laptop. here is my default.jsp

<%@ page language=”java” contentType=”text/html” %>
<%@ taglib uri=”http://java.sun.com/jstl/core&#8221; prefix=”c” %>
<c:redirect url=”home.do”/>

here is my struts-config.xml

could this be a TOmcat issue? I am running tomcat from MyEclipse. I also have a postgres DB running.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What URL are you accessing your JSP with?

Does the Tomcat log, during startup, show any failures or errors?

[rickmschafer]

my URL is http://localhost/douglas which goes to default.jsp and then displays the redirect url of http://localhost/douglas/home.do;jsessionid=F2DEBF4D92FBDCB6DAA1F5C806BA3904

here is the apache log when I started it within MyEclipse. It looks the same after I get the 503 error.

maybe I am using the wrong version of struts?

[Riyad Kalla]

Do me a favor. Shut down Tomcat inside of MyEclipse, and restart it from the command line and see if it gives you the same behavior, that will nail down what we should try trouble shooting next atleast.

[rickmschafer]

same error.
HTTP Status 503 – Servlet action is currently unavailable
——————————————————————————–

type Status report

message Servlet action is currently unavailable

description The requested service (Servlet action is currently unavailable) is not currently available.

——————————————————————————–
Apache Tomcat/5.5.17

[Riyad Kalla]

well atleast it’s not a MyEclipse issue.

To rule out any squirrely Tomcat issues, go grab Tomcat 5.5.23 from the Tomcat site, in ZIP form, unzip it somewhere new, update your connector settings in MyEclipse, remove your old deployment for your app and redeploy it to the new Tomcat… then fire it back up.

Does it work?

[rickmschafer]

No, the same results. I noticed your comment about “deployment” and I am not deploying the app but rather using it from within my c:\Home\douglas directory. I have an entry in my server.xml file for this. I also created this project as a Java J2EE Web Project and added struts capabilities to it, even though the original project was not a MyEclipse project – it did use struts though. Maybe I should zip a copy of what I have and email it to you.

[Riyad Kalla]

I would suggest stop pointing Tomcat over at the project directory, and instead use an exploded deployment in MyEclipse out to Tomcat. It gives you the same effect and keeps things clean.

See if that helps.

[rickmschafer]

Interesting you say that. I just copied my webroot directory to a directory under my apaache webapps directory and I still get the same error. I am also pointed to the correct aebapps directory in my server.xml file. Its as though I have a configuration issue with my config files. should I zip up my eclipse project directory for you to try? If I am deploying this wrong please let me know how I should deploy this different.

[Riyad Kalla]

Sure we can do that. You can use FIle > Export > Archive to export your project to a ZIP and then send it to support@genuitec.com ATTN Riyad, with a link to this thread for reference.
