struts2 form submit not hitting method

Question

I have a .jsp form like so

<s:form action="AuditLogReport">Source IP<br>
<input type="text" class="auditLogSearch" name="sourceIp" value="All">
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</s:form>

And my struts.xml is defined

    <action name="AuditLogReport" 
    class="com.mycom.selfservice.actions.AuditLogAction" method="auditLogReport">  
                <result name="success">jsp/AuditLog.jsp</result> 
                <result name="error">jsp/Error.jsp</result>  
    </action>

Here is my class definition

public class AuditLogAction extends ActionSupport implements Action,ServletRequestAware {

And in my AuditLogAction class there is a method

public String auditLogReport() {
    System.out.println("Im in auditLogReport...");

but when I click the button, auditLogReport method does not get hit. What I see in the browser url is http://localhost:7001/BPSelfServicePortal/AuditLogReport.action

It is appending .action which I think is why it doesn't find the method. So I tried putting

 <constant name="struts.action.extension" value=""/> 

in the struts.xml. That prevented the .action from being appended but the button still didn't work. Plus it caused the .css and images from being found. I have a link that uses the default execute() method and that works ok.

If I simply remove the .action in the url and hit enter, it hits the method but then none of the values in the form get passed.

Suggestions?

Answer 1

The problem turned out to be a Date parameter. Apparently struts2 doesn't like them.

public Date getFromDate() {
    return fromDate;
}
public void setFromDate(Date fromDate) {
    this.fromDate = fromDate;
}

Changed it to

public String getFromDate() {
    return fromDate;
}
public void setFromDate(String fromDate) {
    this.fromDate = fromDate;
}

And then it worked!
