I'm new to Struts here I have created simple hello form in which index page gets executed, and then when I'm trying to submit the form it shows unable to find "success" forward. I don't know where I had the exact error. can someone can help me with this. when I hit the submit button it shows me like

"org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping findForward WARNING: Unable to find 'success' forward."

CodePudding user response：

In the configuration struts-config.xml you didn't added <forward> to the <action> Tag.

<action path="/Hello" name="HF" input="/index.jsp" type ="beans.FormController">
<forward name ="success" path ="/success.jsp"/>
</action>

There should be XML parsing errors at sturtup because this document doesn't comply struts-config.DTD.

In the struts-config.xml you should include a correct doctype against which DTD is validated.

<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC     
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.3//EN" "struts-config_1_3.dtd">
