First, if you are invoking an action it looks for the mapping. The mapping is for anything ending in .do (*.do to be exact in the mapping). That means if your url is "/start.do" it tries to find the action-mapping with the name "/start" and invokes it. The global-forward section's "forwards" are for the outcomes (i.e. the forward.findForward("timeOut") your action returns.
Now, I was asking why your new deployment was kicking out an error that a path "/do/start" was invoked. How are you accessing the urls for each of those two containers/application servers? Where did this "/do/start" come from if you are mapping the suffix (*.do) and not the prefix (/do/*) for the Struts servlet?

The path is simply turned over to struts to resolve "start" and so it should resolve to start.do, right? -----Original Message----- From: David Friedman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 11:07 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Websphere mapping problem Your error suggests your are using the wrong url. The error lists "/do/start" but your mapped your servlet to "*.do" so it expects the path "/start.do" What path are you trying to reach your webapp on for each platform? -David -----Original Message----- From: Hehl, Thomas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 9:59 AM To: 'user@struts.apache.org' Subject: Websphere mapping problem <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
