Even after cleaning the project redeploying it and again restarting the server I was not able to remove the error.
Placed the struts.xml file in webcontent->web-inf folder. Hope it will solved ur problem.
In my case, a simple mistake occurred on project build path: I placed the JRE Library and Maven Dependencies on top of src/main/java and src/main/resources.
The correct order in Project Java Build Path is:
For me, simply cleaning the project, rebuilding it again and deploying it fresh on tomcat worked.
Struts2 XML configuration provider cannot load the action class. This class
com.tutorialspoint.struts2.HelloWorldAction
is not available on the classpath or corrupted. The version are you using is too old, and you need to recreate the project and update version information in xml configuration filesstruts.xml
,web.xml
