Thomas Meire commented on WW-2525: ---------------------------------- I've been searching on this problem for a while, and got it working. default-action-ref does set the default action, and not the default action class. So the example in the bug report is a valid example of the bug in action. To work around this problem, it's enough to explicitly add a closing tag as in the example below. However, I checked the dtd (struts-2.0-1.dtd) and it permits an empty default-action-ref. So I'm not quite sure where the real bug is located. As said, you can explicitly add a closing tag as a workaround: <package name="example" namespace="/example" extends="struts-default"> <default-action-ref name="HelloWorld" ></default-action-ref> <action name="HelloWorld" class="example.HelloWorld"> <result>/example/HelloWorld.jsp</result> </action> </package> > default-action-ref not working! > ------------------------------- > > Key: WW-2525 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2525 > Project: Struts 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.0.11 > Environment: RAD 7, Windows XP > Reporter: Vijay > > It looks like default-action-ref feature is not working (even using struts > blank war) --- > web.xml > <filter-mapping> > <filter-name>struts2</filter-name> > <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> > </filter-mapping> > struts.xml > <package name="example" namespace="/example" extends="struts-default"> > <default-action-ref name="HelloWorld" /> > <action name="HelloWorld" class="example.HelloWorld"> > <result>/example/HelloWorld.jsp</result> > </action> > The URL such as: http://localhost:9080/struts2-blank-2.0.11/example/ > throws 404.
