 private String password;
  public String execute() throws Exception {
if(this.getUsername().equals("Bharat")&& this.getPassword().equals("roseindia"))
{

struts.xml

It is a XML file. Here, we will create action mapping of action class.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC
      "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN"
    "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd"> 
<struts>
<constant name="struts.enable.DynamicMethodInvocation" value="false" />
<constant name="struts.devMode" value="false" />
    <package name="sample" extends="struts-default">
          <action name="index" class="roseindia.LoginValidation">
            <result name="success">/jsp/welcome.jsp</result>   
            <result name="error">/jsp/error.jsp</result>        
      </action>
      <action name="login">
                  <result name="success">./jsp/login.jsp</result>         
      </action>   
   </package>
  </struts>

web.xml
Web.xml is used to configuration the servlet container properties of login validation example. The filter and the filter-mapping elements are used for including the Struts 2.2.1 StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter. It means all the incoming request that targets to the Struts 2.2.1 action will be handled by StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter class.
