The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI in Struts 2 app

Question

I'm writing a test application using struts2. In this app I set a context-root in weblogic.xml file:

  <context-root>/myapp/test/exec</context-root>

And now I tried to access an action with following link: http://localhost:8081/myapp/test/exec/myAction.action

I get Error 404--Not Found - The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI

My struts.xml is

<package extends="struts-default" namespace="/" name="common">
    <action name="myAction" class="com.test.MyAction">
        <result>pages/js/welcome.jsp</result>
    </action>
</package>

Do you have any resource that you can access in the specified url? — Roman C, Feb 27 '17 at 13:56
My base app is wrote using struts1 framework, but I tried to add a new action using struts2. So, in this case, I enabled the web application framework within the servlet containers web.xml file, I create a struts.xml file and an MyAction class which extends ActionSupport. — Ariana, Feb 27 '17 at 14:18
All other action which was wrote using struts1 are called with http://localhost:8081/myapp/test/exec/SayHello.do and this uri work fine — Ariana, Feb 27 '17 at 14:20

Yes, the problem was caused by the conflict between xwork2 jar and xwork-core-2.2.3 jar. I deleted xwork2 jar and now all working fine. — Ariana, Mar 06 '17 at 14:10
Your explanation was very good, but not the uri was the real problem in my case — Ariana, Mar 06 '17 at 14:11

The struts.xml should be in src or resources folder in your project structure. WEB-INF/classes is a bad place because this folder might be recreated by the build tool and the file will be removed from the final war.

Without action configuration you can't access action classes from HTTP. However if you use convention plugin or something that generates this configuration based on code conventions then you might find the URLs in the config-browser web site that you can access even if you don't have struts.xml

You can read more about action configuration, convention and config-browser plugins on the Struts guides site.
