This was already pointed out at stackoverflow, but you're pointing out your action result to a jsp fragment:
<result name="SUCCESS">/WEB-INF/views/header/header.jspf</result> It doesn't make much sense. You should point it to a jsp that has the fragment included in it. For example: <result name="SUCCESS">/WEB-INF/views/success-result.jsp</result> where success-result.jsp is a jsp file which includes your header.jspf file. How does one include header and footers across all pages in struts 2 > without using tiles? Well, to make it in a neat way, I'd highly recommend using tiles. It's pretty simple and elegant. One alternative is to use a template engine like Velocity and use its macros to create your templates.
