I've just setup a test project to learn struts2.But i am getting above error while installing my (Install -Maven Build) project.

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this one?
My project hierarchy is - prjname/src/WEB-INF/web.xml

Thanks a lot

Based on the file names given in the error message, your web.xml file should be located at:

\eclipse\workspace\struts\src\main\webapp\WEB-INF\web.xml
