Struts 2 - Cannot display value from Action in JSP Page

I'm newbie and work with Struts 2. I waste some days but cannot fix it.

action class:

public class UserAction extends ActionSupport implements Action{

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 3665293407194339009L;
    private String message;

    public String getMessage() {
        return message;
    }

    public void setMessage(String message) {
        this.message = message;
    }

    @Override
    public String execute() throws Exception {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        message="this is inside execute";
        return SUCCESS;
    }

}

struts.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.3//EN"
"http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.3.dtd">
<struts>
<constant name="struts.enable.DynamicMethodInvocation" value="false" />

<constant name="struts.devMode" value="true" />
<constant name="struts.action.extension" value="html" />

    <package name="default" namespace="/" extends="struts-default">
        <action name="index" class="com.action.controller.UserAction" method="execute">
            <result name="SUCCESS">/index.jsp</result>
        </action>
    </package>
</struts>

index.jsp

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"  
                      "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
        <title>Insert title here</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h4>AAAAA</h4>
        <s:property value="message"/>
    </body>
</html>

this is screen when project run

It only displays AAAA in <h4> but does not show the message. I try both XML and annotation but it doesn't show the message. I don't know what the problem is with my project.

  1. You are returning the constant SUCCESS, that is mapped to the String "success", and then mapping the String "SUCCESS" in the struts.xml.

    Change "SUCCESS" to "success" in struts.xml:

     <result name="success">/index.jsp</result>

  2. You are probably opening the page without passing through the action before.
