I am using struts 1.1, tiles and wl6.1

My application is at localhost:port/applicname/*

After i do a get request to localhost:port/applicname/Login.do, i do get the login page.

However, when i do a javascript:submit(), it tries to go to
localhost:port/Login.do instead of localhost:port/applicname/Login.do

my form element is as follows:
<form name="loginForm" action="/Login.do">
...
</form>


Any idea why this is happening??

my struts-config entry is as follow:

 <action
            path="/Login"
            type="com.anthem.pwdexpire.actions.LoginAction"
            name="LoginForm"
            scope="request"
            validate="false">

            <forward name="nextview"
                           path=".login.layout"/>
    </action>

The application is deployed properly ...in an .ear file.
that is the context of the application is set as "applicname" in the application.xml file.

Do i need some entry in the web.xml or anywhere else that would help the browser request as localhost:port/applicname/* everytime?

By the way how does the browser know that it has to submit to localhost:port/applicname/Login.do if the action is
/Login.do?


thanks a lot!

The request is going to the right URI (/Login.do).
You could either remove the / to indicate that it should go to the current path or you should use URL-rewriting.

Hello,

you should use the Struts html taglib for generating the html form. It will construct the correct url by prepending the application's name to the action path.

Example:

<html:form action="/Login.do">
...
</html:form>
