I am trying to make a small login application in struts 2. My web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"

        </filter-class>
    </filter>
    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>Login.jsp</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>
    </web-app>

Struts.xml:

<struts>
    <package name="default" extends="struts-default" namespace="/">
        <action name="login" method="execute"
            class="struts2.LoginAction">
            <result name="success">Welcome.jsp</result>
            <result name="error">Login.jsp</result>
        </action>
    </package>
</struts>

login.jsp:

<h2>Congrates, <s:property value="username" />...!</h2>

LoginAction.java:

package struts2;

public class LoginAction {
    private String username;
    private String password;

    public String execute() {
        if (this.username.equals("admin")
            && this.password.equals("admin123")) {
            return "success";
        } else {
        return "error";
        }
    }

    public String getUsername() {
        return username;
    }

    public void setUsername(String username) {
        this.username = username;
    }

    public String getPassword() {
        return password;
    }

    public void setPassword(String password) {
        this.password = password;
    }
}

And i have added these libraries to my project:

  • commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
  • struts2-core-2.1.8.1.jar
  • ognl-2.6.11.jar
  • xwork-2.1.0.jar
  • freemarker-2.3.9.jar

When I try to run this on Tomcat 6 I got following error:

Make sure the following are on your class path:

  • commons-fileupload-X.X.X.jar
  • commons-io-X.X.X.jar
  • commons-logging-X.X.X.jar
  • commons-logging-api.X.X.jar
  • freemarker-X.X.X.jar
  • ognl-X.X.X.jar
  • struts2-core-X.X.X.X.jar
  • xwork-core-X.X.X.jar
  • javassist-3.7.ga.jar (new for Struts versions 2.2.1 and higher)
  • commons-lang3-x.x

Edit: Have you followed https://struts.apache.org/getting-started/how-to-create-a-struts2-web-application.html to set up your project?

Try:

        <filter>
            <filter-name>action</filter-name>
            <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
        </filter>
        <filter-mapping>
            <filter-name>action</filter-name>
            <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
        </filter-mapping>

If you are using Struts2 version 2.5 you need to change from org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter to org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter. See:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter in web.xml
