  6. Jagannath says:

    Hi,I used login application and it is validating form if userName and password is blank.
    Now I am sending userName and password like this
    http://localhost:8080/LoginApp/loginAction.action?userName=jagannath&password=123 then also logged in successfully instead of filling login.jsp form page. In this case user should not logged in. How can avoid it using struts2.

  13. shiva says:

    in about action class why you extends the Actionsupport class and were did you placed it

  14. Raghul says:

    HTTP Status 500 – The Struts dispatcher cannot be found. This is usually caused by using Struts tags without the associated filter. Struts tags are only usable when the request has passed through its servlet filter, which initializes the Struts dispatcher needed for this tag. – [unknown location]

    HOW TO RESOLVE THIS ERROR?
