Problems Deploying application to Weblogic through the Admin Console

Question

I'm using Weblogic 10.3.5. When I deploy my Struts2 application locally in eclipse, it runs fine. When I try to deploy my application through the Admin console, I get a Struts 2 error, name not found for action.

When I look at the .war file, it has all the libraries and classes. I followed these directions for deploying through the Admin Console. I can successfully deploy through the Admin Console, but when I try and use the test links for the application, I get the same error. If I try to access the application through the url:

http://localhost:7001/app-name

I get the same error.

Here is the stack trace:

What am I doing wrong? Why can I access the application when I deploy it through eclipse, but I can't access the application when I deploy it through the Admin Console.

Thanks for your help!

What is the error message/stack trace? Sounds like a classpath issue still but need the full trace to provide help — Display Name is missing
@better_use_mkstemp, I've updated the post with the stack trace. — NuAlphaMan

Sounds like your struts.xml file in WEB-INF/classes is somehow wrong when you're trying a manual deploy. Crack open your .ear/.war file and see what's in your struts.xml (if it even exists). Eclipse might be automatically putting it into a folder for you that doesn't get deployed when you do it manually. Below is a working example for reference:

<struts>
<constant name="struts.devMode" value="true" />
<package name="default" namespace="/" extends="struts-default">

    <action name="myAction" 
        class="com.something.myAction" >
        <result name="success">pages/myPage.jsp</result>
    </action>

</package>
</struts>

If the project root context is “app-name“, you can access the above action via a URL like – http://domain:8080/app-name/myAction.action
