Solved: Struts Action Class returning blank page

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 and in 5)web.xml I pasted the welcome file element
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>register1.jsp</welcome-file>
</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"));
	}
}
