Hi,

I changed the context root for my project from “/” to “/adminportal” using project properties. After doing so the paths in my struts actions did not change so I receive errors.

For example /login.do did not change to /adminportal/login.do so I get an error
The requested resource (/login.do) is not available.

I assume I need to update a config file so that struts knows to prepend /adminportal to the paths.

Thanks

Actually I should say that forms in my JSP specify “/login.do”. Is there something in the config that would prepend the context root for all form posts?

Thanks

invantix,
Unfortunately no, you would need to do a find-replace of every path (/*) and likely change it to the desired prefix, in this case /adminportal/*

I wish there were an easier way but there isn’t.

This seems like a fundamental flaw with the struts architecture. Does the same problem exist with Spring? I had been considering Spring for new projects for other reasons. This would be another reason.

Thanks,

Chris,
I haven’t done anything with Spring MVC or Web Flow, so I’m not 100% positive, but yes, I believe the mappings *are* done from XML files just like Struts. Same with JSF.

The one framework that won’t suffer from this is Wicket, since you forward to classes that represent pages. It seems to be (from what I’ve seen and odne with it) refactor-proof.
