Struts2 convention plugin (m2eclipse/geronimo) - struts2

Question

Using convention-plugin seems really easy but im not able to make it work :(
I'm using struts2 version 2.2.3
I have a package named com.medicis.actions with a UserAction extending ActionSupport.
I don't have any struts.xml file
I have the convention-plugin depency set on my maven configuration (i also checked the generated war file)
There is my web.xml :
<display-name>Starter</display-name>
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>classpath*:applicationContext*.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<!-- Filters -->
<filter>
<filter-name>action2-cleanup</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ActionContextCleanUp</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter>
<filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.opensymphony.module.sitemesh.filter.PageFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter>
<filter-name>action2</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>action2-cleanup</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>action2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<!-- Listeners -->
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>jspSupportServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.struts2.views.JspSupportServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>5</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<!-- Welcome file lists -->
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>
I tried with and without the init param for the action2 filter:
<init-param>
<param-name>actionPackages</param-name>
<param-value>com.medicis.actions</param-value>
</init-param>
I have this property set on my struts.propertie file :
struts.action.extension=action
Still i'm unable to launch my action using localhost:8080/starter/user.action :
There is no Action mapped for namespace / and action name user
I really don't know what's going wrong, I even downloaded a simple example without any result either.
Could it be a configuration problem due to eclipse, m2eclipse, maven wtp or geronimo ???
If you need more information just tell me and i'll provide you that asap.

Answer 1

Create struts.properties in "src" folder
Copy and paste code from below:
struts.convention.package.locators = actions
struts.convention.action.suffix = Controller
struts.convention.action.mapAllMatches = true
Create class called IndexController in com.example.actions
Copy and paste code from below:
package com.example.actions;
import org.apache.struts2.interceptor.validation.SkipValidation;
import org.apache.struts2.rest.DefaultHttpHeaders;
import org.apache.struts2.rest.HttpHeaders;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;
public class UserController extends ActionSupport {
public String index(){
return SUCCESS
}
}
You also need to create jsp file in WEB-INF/content/user/index.jsp
