This would tell me you are trying to access ..../demo.do?actionType=edit

That method doesn't exist in your action. Your action has a method called EditUser, which of course should be named editUser to follow proper naming conventions. I didn't see where you are making that request, maybe in your javascript file.

Thanks Sir.

I got the solution as you said.
