Can anyone kindly explain me what does it mean.
Thanks in advance.

Which book? You may get more helpful responses if you copy that example here because not everyone has that whatever book.

This is HeadFirst Servlets and Jsp 2nd Edition.
following is my form.jsp
struts-config.xml is as following:-
following is my web.xml:-
Actually the thing is that while executing it through Tomcat 6.0, it is unable to locate org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.
Also, KINDLY explain me how is it created by container?
Thanks a lot.

it is unable to locate org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.
If that's the case it means that you have not included Struts library files into your application. You can download Struts 1.x from here and then include its jar files into your application...

rightly said, I had copied those jar files in TOMCAT's main lib, not in my webapp's lib.Now I have all struts-jars in my webapp's lib directory as well. But still it is not the end, I am getting following error:-

WHICH IS BEYOND MY UNDERSTANDING.IS IT A TOMCAT SPECIFIC PROBLEM?CAN OTHER VERSION OF JARs (1.3.10 AND 1.3.8) WORKING TOGETHER CAUSE THIS PROBLEM?
BY THE WAY, I AM USING TOMCAT-6.0 AND I HAVE INCLUDED STRUTS-1.3.10 JARs.
IF THERE IS ANY OTHER CONFIGURATION REQUIRED,PLEEEEEZ INFORM ME.
THANKS A TON

You should not put Struts jars in Tomcat libs folder. Only include Struts library files in your web application. Also don't use multiple Struts versions in your app, use a single version of Struts jars in your application...

I did exactly same as you suggested.
no extra jar file in Tomcat's directory.
all downloaded jar files included in package struts-1.3.10 are included in webapp's lib directory.
Still i am getting one error:-
HTTP Status 500 -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Should I include only the following jars as depicted in book Head First Servlets n Jsp
struts-taglib-1.3.10.jar
struts-core-1.3.10.jar
commons-beanutils-1.8.0.jar
commons-chain-1.2.jar
commons-digester-1.8.jar
On doing so,I am gettin following error:-
HTTP Status 404 - Servlet FrontController is not available
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
type Status report
message Servlet FrontController is not available
description The requested resource (Servlet FrontController is not available) is not available.

What is the URL that you are entering in the browser?? I've not used Struts 1.x much, but looking at an example here, it seems that the path attribute of action tag in struts-config.xml should not have .do in the end...

url I entered is as following
http://localhost:8080/BeerStruts/form.jsp
Actually when I removed the ".do" extension as you suggested, I am not getting any error.
But still I am getting a blank page with following url:-
http://localhost:8080/BeerStruts/Select.do
It seems that bean is not getting populated.
I have a confusion as well if I am not extracting parameters from form.jsp explicitly (like using getParameter or jsp:setProperty) then how will bean get populated?

You will get blank page with the same URL when you return "null" from the execute method...I have experienced this once.. if you cant still get it, post your action class(i think thats the only part you have not posted here)..that will be easy to debug your problem...
