index.jsp is in my hello_world.war file and hello_world.war is at /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/hello_world/hello_world.war.

I have used the web.xml file, unchanged, from the tutorial area. Here is the content, where the line numbers are
inserted by my editor and are not part of the file:


  1 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
2 <web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/200 1/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web- app_2_4.xsd">
  3 <display-name>Hello World Struts 2</display-name>
  4 <welcome-file-list>
  5 <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
  6 </welcome-file-list>
  7
  8
  9 <filter>
 10 <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
11 <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
 12 </filter>
 13
 14 <filter-mapping>
 15 <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
 16 <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
 17 </filter-mapping>
 18
 19 </web-app>

I can see there is some struts filtering, but at this point I do not know if something needs to be changed.

do you have index.jsp in your webContent folder and did you configure struts2 filter in web.xml?

    Hello All,

    I am an experienced programmer, but inexperienced in web
    programming and a total newbie to struts.
    Struts looks like it will be very useful to my web programming so
    I have ventured into the tutorials to
    start learning how to use it. I ran the first tutorial
    'basic_struts' successfully. Next, I am trying to
    run the 'Hello World' tutorial, but it is failing. I could use
    some suggestions on what may be wrong and
    some suggestions on debug methodology when using struts. Or at
    least pointers on where to looking
    for debugging techniques.  I am trying to do some reading to teach
    myself, but I'm floundering at this
    point.

    I'm running crunchbang Linux, using firefox 30.0, which is close
    to the latest edition. By the way, I'm
    aware of the firefox 'web console' but a beginner with that tool
    so I have not taken advantage of it so far.
    I'm running the tomcat6 server on my localhost.

    I have read the tutorial for 'Hello World' from:

    *
    
*file:///usr/share/struts/struts-2.3.16.3/docs/hello-world-using-struts-2.html

    I have read each step in that tutorial and verified that the
    source code explained in the tutorial
    is in my sand box. I ran 'mvn clean project' and got a successful
    build. Then then copied the
    hello_world.war file to:

    * * /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/hello_world
    *
    *enter the URL:

    http://localhost:8080/hello_world/index.action

    in the address box on Firefox and got the following error from tomcat:


    ----------------Start Error
    
Window-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    HTTP Status 404 - /hello_world/index.action
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    *type* Status report
    *message* _/hello_world/index.action_
    *description* _The requested resource (/hello_world/index.action)
    is not available._
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Apache Tomcat/6.0.35

    -------------------End Error Window
    
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    My other webapps run ok out of /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps, so I at
    least know my environment is set up
    correctly, at least for the most part. When I check directory
    permissions from the /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/hello_world
    directory, I get:

    % ls -ld . *
    drwxr-xr-x 2 jimA jimA    4096 Jul  2 09:15 .
    -rw-r--r-- 1 jimA jimA 3991999 Jul  4 15:29 hello_world.war

    I thought about attaching the hello_world.war file, but because it
    is 4M-bytes, I decided not to. If someone would like
    to see it, I can provide it or a portion of it.

    I feel like there is an obvious error in my set up, but I cannot
    see it. Can anyone offer some suggestions?

    Regards,
    Jim Anderson
