      <input type="text" name="name"/>
      <input type="submit" value="Say Hello"/>

My struts.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC

            <result name="error">/AccessDenied.jsp</result>
         </action>
      </package>
</struts>

The action mapping ---- I tried hello as action name and also hello.action as action name but got the same error

   </filter>

   <filter-mapping>
      <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
      <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
   </filter-mapping>
</web-app>

Even after cleaning the project redeploying it and again restarting the server I was not able to remove the error.

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 files struts.xml, web.xml.

See How To Create A Struts 2 Web Application.

For me, simply cleaning the project, rebuilding it again and deploying it fresh on tomcat worked.

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:

src/main/java
src/main/resources
src/test/java
JRE System Library
Maven Dependencie
