I have been referencing the book Struts in Action by Ted Husted as well as the struts site. I cannot figure out what to point my browser to in order to invoke struts. I have zero JSPs in my struts application -- I have no need for them because I am utilizing Model X where I have one XSLT servlet that represents my entire view layer. I thought I could just point my browser to http://localhost:8080/ginsu (ginsu being the name of my web app). I realize I have no index.html or index.jsp, but I'm just trying to go directly to the action servlet from the browser. Is this not possible in struts? Here is my struts-config file: <snippet> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_0.dtd";> <struts-config> <!-- ========== Form Bean Definitions =================================== --> <form-beans> <!-- Example logon form bean <form-bean name="logonForm" type="org.apache.struts.example.LogonForm"/> --> <form-bean name="contentForm" type="ginsu.ContentForm" /> </form-beans> <!-- ========== Global Forward Definitions ============================== --> <global-forwards> <!-- Example logon forward <forward name="logon" path="/logon.jsp"/> --> </global-forwards> <!-- ========== Action Mapping Definitions ============================== --> <action-mappings> <action path="/ginsu" type="ginsu.ContentAction" name="contentForm"> <!-- we want the xslServlet forward path attribute to point to XSL Servlet --> <forward name="xslServlet" path="/XSLServlet" /> </action> <action path="/admin/addFormBean" type="org.apache.struts.actions.AddFormBeanAction"/> <action path="/admin/addForward" type="org.apache.struts.actions.AddForwardAction"/> <action path="/admin/addMapping" type="org.apache.struts.actions.AddMappingAction"/> <action path="/admin/reload" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ReloadAction"/> <action path="/admin/removeFormBean" type="org.apache.struts.actions.RemoveFormBeanAction"/> <action path="/admin/removeForward" type="org.apache.struts.actions.RemoveForwardAction"/> <action path="/admin/removeMapping" type="org.apache.struts.actions.RemoveMappingAction"/> </action-mappings> </struts-config> </snippet> And here is my web.xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd";> <web-app> <!-- Standard Action Servlet Configuration (with debugging) --> <servlet> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>config</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>debug</param-name> <param-value>2</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>detail</param-name> <param-value>2</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup> </servlet> <!-- XSLT Servlet (View component)--> <servlet> <servlet-name>XSLServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>ginsu.XSLServlet</servlet-class> <!-- <init-param> <param-name>xsl-file</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/test.xsl</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> --> </servlet> <!-- XSLTServlet Mapping --> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>XSLServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/XSLServlet</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <!-- Struts Action Servlet Mapping --> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <!-- The Usual Welcome File List --> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> <!-- Struts Tag Library Descriptors --> <taglib> <taglib-uri>/tags/struts-bean</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> <taglib> <taglib-uri>/tags/struts-html</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> <taglib> <taglib-uri>/tags/struts-logic</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> <taglib> <taglib-uri>/tags/struts-nested</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts-nested.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> <taglib> <taglib-uri>/tags/struts-tiles</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> </web-app> </snippet> I noticed that there is an element: <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> Is this an absolutely necessary element in the web.xml file? I figure the index.jsp would just contain a redirect to the action servlet. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
