Apparently there is a problem with Servlet Name 'Action' from org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet. Unfurtunatley I don't know what am I doing wrong. Have you an idea? Many thx in advance. Olli

Make sure that you have enabled or checked the maven dependency in the build path. — SASIKUMAR SENTHILNATHAN

This error occurred because your servlet-core jar is not on your run-time class-path. If you are using maven,

Open your EAR/web project properties
Click on "Deployment Assembly"
Click on "Add..."
Select on "Java Build Path Entries"
Click on "Next"
Select "Maven Dependencies"
Click "Finish"

If not maven, make sure you have the lib folder where your jars are placed is on "Deployment Assembly".

I think you should keep you jar files into /WEB_INF/Lib folder and this will work for you.

I got the same error while using Tomcat 7. I found the solution. Root cause is either struts jar version or jar configurations. Previsouly i used struts.jar, now i added struts-core-1.3.10.jar recommendable for Tomcat 7 and servlet-api jar shloud be available and make sure that jar configurations done properly or not.. Its better to delete current project and start freshly.

We need to add one additional jar: struts-extras-1.3.9.jar in WEB/lib. And rightly said it is org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction

i think the problem is due to jar file,please make sure of the jar files in lib folder.if you are using eclipse,then copy all the jar files to lib folder rather than confuguring build path

I had the same problem. Although I added the struts library to the project Build Path and marked to export, Eclipse did not include anything in WEB-INF/lib. So similar to what Vivek Kothari said you can make Eclipse to add them. But if you have already downloaded the jar files and added to the project build path (probably as a User Library), you can select your library in step 6.

This problem is due to missing Jars only... put all these jars into /WEB-INF/lib folder...

antlr-2.7.2.jar
commons-beanutils-1.8.0.jar
commons-chain-1.2.jar
commons-digester-1.8.jar
commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
commons-validator-1.3.1.jar
oro-2.0.8.jar
struts-core-1.3.10.jar
struts-taglib-1.3.10.jar

if we use only struts-core.jar then we face this problem...because all other jars are also required.

Did exactly what you said and it worked, server started normally with out any errors. But not sure if all the above listed jars need to be moved to WEB-INF/lib apart from struts related jars. This is some thing I need to check when I have some time to do little R&D
