Action not found, why not?

Question

I have created an action with a method like below:

public class NomenclatureAction extends ActionSupport {

    // ...

    @Actions({
      @Action(value = "ajaxDoStuff",
              results = {
                    @Result(name = ActionSupport.SUCCESS, location = "success.jsp"),
                    @Result(name = ActionSupport.INPUT, location = "fail.jsp") 
              }),
      @Action(value = "index.action",
              results = {
                    @Result(name = ActionSupport.SUCCESS, location = "success.jsp"),
                    @Result(name = ActionSupport.INPUT, location = "fail.jsp") 
              })
    })
    public final String doStuff() {
        // ...
        return ActionSupport.SUCCESS;
    }

}

I want to call the same method doStuff with one of the URLs below:

• http://my-server.com/public/namespace/ajaxDoStuff
• http://my-server.com/public/namespace/ajaxDoStuff.action
• http://my-server.com/public/namespace/index
• http://my-server.com/public/namespace/index.action

So far, it works for the first two URLs but not for the last two ones.
What am I missing?

Answer 1

The value attribute should not contain an extension.

@Action(value = "index.action",
  results = {
        @Result(name = ActionSupport.SUCCESS, location = "success.jsp"),
        @Result(name = ActionSupport.INPUT, location = "fail.jsp") 
  })

You might also try http://my-server.com/public/namespace which should be handled by the convention uknown handler, which is enabled by default.
