Description

I created a web application similar to the struts2-rest-showcase-2.1.2.war. The context root was "poll" and when I made a request for the URL http://localhost:8080/pollsystem/poll, the controller method was being executed and my list was returned. However, the URL had been reconstructed to include a trailing slash http://localhost:8080/pollsystem/. This was resulting in broken links on the page as in:

http://localhost:8080/pollsystem/poll/poll/3

After hours of researching the problem, I discovered that I had a folder named poll that I had originally created to contain my web pages. This folder was at the same level as WEB-INF. After removing this folder, the trailing slash was gone!

I added an empty folder named orders to the struts2-rest-showcase-2.1.2.war application and it started to fail for the same reason.
