Struts Action Class returning blank page
asked on
I was trying to develop an application in struts after a long time. It is loading the welcome page. Once I click on that page the form submits and what ever be the value it returns success. I wrote it to simplify this. It doesnt even have a formbean as I am not doing anything with the form bean values. I simplified to the least. Still it was returning a blank page. I am not able to upload the files. I am pasting the code. There are only four files. 1) Action class, 2) struts-config.xml, 3)register1.jsp, 4)confirm-registration.jsp
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>register1.js
</welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>register1.js
</welcome-file-list>
//Action class
package demo;
import org.apache.log4j.Level;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.struts.action.Action;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
public class RegisterAction1 extends Action {
public ActionForward execute(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response,
ActionForm form,
ActionMapping mapping) throws Exception
{
return (mapping.findForward("success"));
}
}
