Hello, couple of things:
1. Struts2 Action is not Servlet, so you don't need following part in your web.xml: <servlet> <servlet-name>HelloWorld</servlet-name> <servlet-class>tutorial.HelloWorld</servlet-class> </servlet> Based on your first email I assume that tutorial.HelloWorld is an action class, not Servlet. So please, remove this part. 2. Your action result page is also a welcome file, so if you run your application, it will display your HelloWorld.jsp file, but the Struts2 action will not be executed. (Check your address bar, if your URL ends with HelloWorld.jsp, this is the case). 3. So how to run your action? You have to call it... change the url so it ends with HelloWorld.*action, *this should trigger your action. You should probably know, that Struts is set by default to recognize only the *.action as Struts2 actions. Anything else is not treated as Struts2 action. You can change this in struts-default.xml if I am not wrong. But for this hello world example you don't need to do it. Just follow step 3 above to execute your action.
