Solved : No configuration found for the specified action

Issue: Warning : No configuration found for the specified action on struts 2 action call..

Fix : Check your struts.xml and action mapping and map it with your jsp form submission

for example,

Action mapping

<action name="login" method="login"

class="com.tcs.ecmui.action.CredentialWatcher">

<result name="success" type="redirect">getAllPages</result>

<result name="error">/resources/jsp/login.jsp</result>

</action>

</package>

Jsp

<s:form action="login" method="POST">

<s:textfield name="user" label="User" />

<br>

<s:password name="password

Problematic Code :

<s:form action="/login" method="POST">

<s:textfield name="user" label="User" />

<br>

<s:password

<s:form action="/login.action" method="POST">

<s:textfield name="user" label="User" />

<br>

<s:password

Struts 2 Rest Convention Plugin Configuration Example

I was playing around with Struts 2.3.8 and I really liked it the way apache has bundled it with lots of plugins that can help developers shrink their coding efforts hugely.

I was trying with conventions plugin and a simple struts action. The action was not loading saying there is no mapping found.. After couple of tries I could make it work.. Posting the same if some one might find it helpful in saving time..

Action

package com.mycomp.recruit.actions;

import java.util.Collection;

import org.apache.struts2.rest.DefaultHttpHeaders;
import org.apache.struts2.rest.HttpHeaders;
import org.apache.struts2.convention.annotation.Results;
import org.apache.struts2.convention.annotation.Result;

import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ModelDriven;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.Validateable;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ValidationAwareSupport;

@Results({
@Result(name="success", type="redirectAction", params = {"actionName" , "authentication"})
})
public class AuthenticationController extends ValidationAwareSupport implements ModelDriven<Object>, Validateable{

/**
*
*/
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private String id;

// GET /orders/1
public HttpHeaders show() {
return new DefaultHttpHeaders("show");
}

public HttpHeaders index(){
System.out.println("Going thru authentication..");
return new DefaultHttpHeaders("index").disableCaching();
}

public void validate() {
}

public void setId(String id) {
if (id != null) {
//do nothin!??
}
this.id = id;
}

public Object getModel() {
return null;
}

}

struts.xml

<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.3//EN"
"http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.3.dtd">

<struts>

<constant name="struts.convention.action.suffix" value="Controller"/>

<constant name="struts.convention.default.parent.package" value="rest-default"/>

<constant name="struts.convention.package.locators" value="example,actions"/>

</struts>
