description- The requested resource is not available.

TutorialAction.java

package org.koushik.javabrains.action;

public class TutorialAction {

    public String execute(){
        System.out.println("Hello from execute");
        return "failure" ;
    }
}

I created the success.jsp, error.jsp & index.jsp files as well. I'm using eclipse-indigo & Apache tomcat 7.0.62. When I run the project on Tomcat server it shows this error message on console and shows HTTP Status 404 - /Struts2Starter description The requested resource is not available. error message on a new tab named Apache Tomcat.

  • You need to deploy your struts.xml in the classes folder. It is automatic in Eclipse if you do the things right – Andrea Ligios Jul 03 '15 at 08:16
  • The tutorial says the same thing but I'm getting the error when trying to deploy – IShi Jul 03 '15 at 08:27
  • @Roman No in the above case action can be mapped by calling getTutorial.action but mine gives the error message "the requested resource not available" – IShi Jul 03 '15 at 08:37
  • Do you know a difference? If so please edit the question and add required info, without it it's just wall of buggy code. Explain the steps what *you* did, what errors you get, and when, what did you try. Without this information the question is off-topic on SO. – Roman C Jul 03 '15 at 08:44
  • @RomanC I'm not sure how to edit but I did some changes. when I checked Apache folder I found a new folder with my project's name has created within wtpwebapps folder, but the action classes haven't created. Please help me. – IShi Jul 03 '15 at 09:28
  • Look around where the classes are and copy them to Apache, without classes the app cannot work. To edit just click on link [here](http://stackoverflow.com/posts/31201730/edit). – Roman C Jul 03 '15 at 09:36
  • Show Eclipse build settings, src and output – Andrea Ligios Jul 03 '15 at 09:36

Copy the .jar files into the WebContent/WEB-INF/lib folder,the Deployment assembly definition you would have provided as per the tutorials for struts library might not be working when you deploy your application. It worked for me.
