I am recieving "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path welcome does not start with a "/" character" when tryign to create a simple struts app with MyEclipse

I am receiving the following error message when attempting to create a simple J2EE application with Struts and MyEclipse

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path welcome does not start with a "/" character

Here is my struts-config.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.1//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd">

<struts-config>
  <data-sources />
  <form-beans >
    <form-bean name="welcomeForm" type="com.yourcompany.struts.form.WelcomeForm" />
  </form-beans>

  <global-exceptions />
  <global-forwards >
    <forward
      name="welcome"
      path="/welcome.do"
      redirect="true" />
  </global-forwards>

  <action-mappings >
    <action
      attribute="welcomeForm"
      input="/jsp/welcome.jsp"
      name="welcomeForm"
      path="/welcome"
      scope="request"
      type="com.yourcompany.struts.action.WelcomeAction" >
        <forward name="success" path="welcome" />
    </action>
  </action-mappings>

  <message-resources parameter="com.yourcompany.struts.ApplicationResources" />
</struts-config>

Here is my WelcomeAction.java  execute() method:
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
            HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
      WelcomeForm welcomeForm = (WelcomeForm) form;// TODO Auto-generated method stub
      mapping.findForward("success");
      return mapping.findForward("success");
}

I get the error mentioned above.
Below is the log:

Can anyone give me some guidance?
Thank you!
