//Employee FormBean Class

package sravan.strutsprac;

public class EmployeeForm {

	private int employeeid;
	private String employeename;
	private int departmentid;
	public int getEmployeeid() {
		return employeeid;
	}
	public void setEmployeeid(int employeeid) {
		this.employeeid = employeeid;
	}
	public String getEmployeename() {
		return employeename;
	}
	public void setEmployeename(String employeename) {
		this.employeename = employeename;
	}
	public int getDepartmentid() {
		return departmentid;
	}
	public void setDepartmentid(int departmentid) {
		this.departmentid = departmentid;
	}
	
	
}

Employee ActionClass

package sravan.strutsprac;

import javax.servlet.http.*;

import org.apache.struts.action.Action;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;

public class EmployeeAction extends Action {
	
	public ActionForward execute(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse res,
			                     ActionMapping mapping,ActionForm form){
		
		System.out.println("Hi its a Success");
		return mapping.findForward("success");
	}
}

Struts Configuration File


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.2//EN" "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-config_1_2.dtd"> <struts-config> <data-sources /> <form-beans> <form-bean name="employeeform" type="sravan.strutsprac.EmployeeForm"></form-bean> </form-beans> <global-exceptions /> <global-forwards> <forward name="success" path="/success.jsp"></forward> </global-forwards> <action-mappings> <action attribute="employeeform" input="/include.jsp" name="employeeform" path="/success" type="sravan.strutsprac.EmployeeAction" validate="false"> <set-property property="cancellable" value="false" /> <forward name="success" path="/success.jsp" /> </action> </action-mappings> <message-resources parameter="com.yourcompany.struts.ApplicationResources" /> </struts-config>

When i deploy the Application and press Search button @index.jsp instead of displaying success.jsp it is displaying a blank page with the url:

http://localhost:7001/StrutsPrac/success.do

Any help is greatly appreciated

The Problem was the execute method is not being called.......

The Best way is to use Annotations and make sure the execute method is properly Overridden....

for Example in the case of above code: change action class to

@Override public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
