It's my first time to touch Struts. Here refers to Struts 2.1.8.1. The Hello World is deployed under Tomcat 6.0.20.
The error is caused by a typo error of the struts tag url , should be <%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags " %> .
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/strutss-tags" %> <html> <head> <title> Hello World!</title> </head> <body> <h2><s:property value="message"/> </h2> </body> </html>
the error is reported as below using invalid code above which I mis-typed /strutss-tags:
HTTP Status 500 -
type Exception report
