I am new to struts. I am trying to understand how it, I've seen lot of tutorials and solutions but nothing can help solve my error. Could you please help me understand where I went wrong and what needs to be corrected. Below is my code.

Solution

  • In the S2 config you indicate your JSP files are at the root of the web content. They're not, they're in the WEB-INF directory, so your results should reflect that, e.g.,

    <result name="success">/WEB-INF/success.jsp</result>

    It's also not clear how you're deploying the app, e.g., the app context may or may not be struts2Test so you'll need to figure that out as well.
