Import the classes that are missing.

If you're using an IDE this can be done automatically.

Your code, however, is written for Struts 1--you should first decide which to use.

If you're asking about the general layout of a Java web app I'd recommend a tutorial or two first--do not start with Struts.

Try this once.
include the following packages in your action class.

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;

The Struts 1 jars.

I'll repeat my question: are you trying to write a Struts 1 app, or a Struts 2 app? It makes a pretty big difference. Your code is for Struts 1.

Looks like a classpath issue; your packages need to be on the classpath, just like the Struts 1 jar(s).

So you're actually trying to learn Struts 1? Is there a reason?

Skipping Struts 1 unless you have a good reason to learn it.
