To add some more context to this, I was able to successfully use a Struts 1.x 
action in my web.xml.  Struts 1 was based on a servlet vs the ServletFilter 
that Struts 2.x is based on.  Is there anything about this architectural change 
that would require a different Tomcat configuration?  The default extension for 
struts also changed from .do to .action.   Is there anything about this that 
requires a special Tomcat configuration for form-login-pages that are handled 
by Struts2?  Any help or working examples of a S2 app deployed on Tomcat 5.5.x 
or 6.x is greatly appreciated!

Subject: Dynamic form-login-page?


I'm having problems using FORM authentication and a dynamic login page via 
Struts 2. I've tried the following web.xml/struts.xml entries with S2.0.8 & 
Tomcat 5.5.23, but get a 404 "The requested resource (/mywebapp/login.action) 
is not available" message. 

<login-config> 
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method> 
<form-login-config> 
<form-login-page>/login.action</form-login-page> 
<form-error-page>/loginFailure.action</form-error-page> 
</form-login-config> 
</login-config> 

<action name="login"> 
<result>/login.jsp</result> 
</action> 

The login action loads the login.jsp just fine when called directly, but 
doesn't work when invoked by the servlet container. Instead I see the following 
in the Tomcat log: 

Jun-25-2007 10:31:30:865 AM, PDT [DEBUG] 
(org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator) - Save request in session 
'930B154E1AD9BFB1283165CD888441EF' 
Jun-25-2007 10:31:33:053 AM, PDT [DEBUG] 
(org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher) - servletPath=/login.action, 
pathInfo=null, queryString=null, name=null 
Jun-25-2007 10:31:33:053 AM, PDT [DEBUG] 
(org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher) - Path Based Forward 
Jun-25-2007 10:31:33:053 AM, PDT [DEBUG] 
(org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher) - Disabling the response for 
futher output 

I've asked on the Struts2 list if this should be possible to do and the 
response I got was it definitely should work. I'm wondering if there's a 
special Tomcat configuration (beyond my webapp's web.xml struts2 filter 
mapping) I need to add to enable a .action extension being used for 
form-authentication.

Thanks,
Jon
