Error: web.xml not found for Struts application

[rahuld.patil]

Hi All,

I am trying to deploy a struts application in JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final. Getting following error at the time of deployment:

23:04:41,249 ERROR [org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet] (MSC service thread 1-2) The /WEB-INF/web.xml was not found.

The web.xml is available in WEB-INF directory. Can anyone suggest what can be the issue and how to resolve it?

Hi,

Can you post your folder structure?

If you are trying to deploy a basic struts application, you must configure the deployment assembly for the web app and make the jars available for it to run time.

Hi Abhishek,

Not sure how to configure deployment assembly. Also, this doesn't look like a jar not available issue. Can you please elaborate more?

Following is the folder structure:

MyApp.ear

  MyApp.war

       css

       ext-js

       images

       js

       jsp

       META-INF

       WEB-INF

            classes

            lib

            tld

            struts-config.xml

            web.xml

       index.jsp

  META-INF

And the same ear works fine for JBoss4.

You can check the link on how to configure the deployment assembly.

But when you say it works in Jboss 4, that is weird.

Can you just unzip the ear and make sure everything inside is build properly
