There is no Action mapped for namespace [/] and action name [] associated with context path [duplicate]

Question

I've looked through all similar Q's on stackoverflow but it didn't help, sorry. The main difference I have from all of them is that I got EMPTY action name in error message. Googling didn't help :( Hope someone just could give a hint where to look for the source of the problem. thx

Error:

HTTP Status 404 - There is no Action mapped for namespace [/] and action name [] associated with context path [/LoginApplication].

well..image is impossible so the project structure is:

Answer 1

I was also getting similar error. The resolution was that "struts.xml" file was in "web" folder.

It MUST be in the "src" source folder.

Make the change and restart the server.
