Sorry, looks like you *did* do that. I didn't see it. Erik

Not sure if that is the problem. Erik -----Original Message----- From: Graham Leggett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Nov 16, 2005 9:18 AM To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: The dreaded "Servlet action is not available" Hi all, I have been trying to set up a new Struts project from scratch, and having set up a basic action class, etc I fire off a browser at my URL, and I get the dreaded "Servlet action is not available" error. As this message by itself is meaningless, I have been trying to hunt down the actual stacktrace in the tomcat logs to tell me what really happened, and here I have a problem: there are no tomcat logs, apparently tomcat v5.5 + eclipse + sysdeo plugin doesn't seem to work properly (logs go to /dev/null), still trying to debug this on the tomcat list. What will simplify things enormously is if I can be certain this error message is a Struts message or a Tomcat message, so that I don't go on a long wild goose chase. I am not sure whether the Struts servlet is even being called at all, as setting breakpoints within the struts ActionServlet class has no effect - the class never runs the init() method, nor the doGet() method. I also cannot find the text string "Servlet action is not available" in the Struts source code. Here is my web.xml, can anyone see anything obviously wrong with it? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";> <web-app> <!-- load the cactus test servlets --> <servlet> <servlet-name>ServletRedirector</servlet-name> <servlet-class> org.apache.cactus.server.ServletTestRedirector </servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>param1</param-name> <param-value>value1 used for testing</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet> <servlet-name>ServletTestRunner</servlet-name> <servlet-class> org.apache.cactus.server.runner.ServletTestRunner </servlet-class> <load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup> </servlet> <!-- load the struts controller servlet --> <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>0</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>detail</param-name> <param-value>3</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>ServletRedirector</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/ServletRedirector</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>ServletTestRunner</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/ServletTestRunner</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <taglib> <taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/struts-bean.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> <taglib> <taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/struts-html.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> <taglib> <taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/struts-logic.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> <taglib> <taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/struts-nested.tld</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/struts-nested.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> <taglib> <taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/struts-template.tld</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/struts-template.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> <taglib> <taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld</taglib-uri> <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/struts-tiles.tld</taglib-location> </taglib> </web-app> Regards, Graham -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
