Action class execute method not getting called

Hello all,
I am trying to run a simple struts application.
When I am submitting the JSP,the action form validate method is called successfully but my action class execute method is never called.

The URL is displayed blank with the /item.do

Please help

Thanks,
Shriya

Are you completely sure the execute method is not getting called? Have you put a System.out.println statement somewhere in the method to see if it gets printed?

In my experience, when you get a blank page with the correct URL showing, that means the action didn't return a forward. This could be a simple as misspelling the forward name. For example: mapping.findForward("sucess") instead of mapping.findForward("success");

Thanks for your response.

I have put System.out in the very first line of action class.
Code snippet:
JSP:
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>

<html>
<head>
<title>Web JSP</title>
</head>
<body>
<html:errors/>
<html:form action="/submit.do">
Lastname <html:text property="lastname"/>
Address <html:textarea property="address"/>

Married <html:checkbox property="married"/>

<html:submit/>
</html:form>
</body>
</html>

Struts Config :
<action path="/submit"
type="web.WebAction"
name="webForm"
input="/web.jsp"
scope="request"
validate="true">
<forward name="success" path="/index.jsp"/>
<forward name="failure" path="/error.jsp"/>
</action>

Action class :
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,HttpServletRequest request, ActionForm form,HttpServletResponse response){

System.out.println("enter action");
WebForm webform=(WebForm)form;
String lastname=webform.getLastname();
request.setAttribute("lastname",lastname.toUpperCase());
return(mapping.findForward("success"));
}

Your execute method has the wrong signature. The required parameters are all there, but they are in the wrong order. Your execute method must have exactly the following signature:

thank you very much .I got my issue solved.Thanks once again

i am also facing the same problem, even though my execute method has correct signature. please find below the code for LoginAction class:

s.o.p. statement written in the constructor is getting called but s.o.p. written in the execute method is not getting called. please help me out.
