Description

I try creating a simple plugin (guided by http://struts.apache.org/2.3.7/docs/plugins.html) with the following structure:

• src
  • com
    • test
      • TestAction.java
  • WEB-INF
    • content
      • hello.vm
  • static
    • test.js
  • struts-plugin.xml

Everything works fine (action can be accessed), except I cannot access the static resources using URL: http://host/app_context/static/test.js. I have also tried the "struts/test.js" url, it doesn't work either (shows 404 page). I have also set the "struts.serve.static" constant to "true".

I have checked the plugin .jar contains the static folder and the test.js file in it.

Need fix ASAP. Thx
