If it is at all possible, don't use Struts 1. See here.
As for your question, it looks like the Struts servlet has a problem starting up. Can you hit the same URL with a web browser?
Can you show us some code?

Yes joe, please find the code snippets,The web.xml and struts-config.xml were already posted above,

package com.test.cirrus;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.apache.struts.action.Action;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;

public class Testclass extends Action {
	
	@Override
	public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
	  System.out.println("tesintg===========");
		return mapping.findForward("success");
	    }
}

package com.test.form;

import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;

public class HelloWorldForm extends ActionForm {
	private static final long serialVersionUID = -473562596852452021L;

    private String message;

    public String getMessage() {
        return message;
    }

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

I don't see anything obvious. Let me try to clear my mind: you say "i am trying to redirect to an action class using servlet". Is the servlet in question the Struts ActionServlet, or have you created your own servlet and you are trying to redirect with it? If the latter, what does that servlet look like?
Is there more to the exception in the server logs?

Hi Srikanth ,
Look at the xml configuration you mention in post ..

<form-beans>
        <form-bean name="helloWorldForm" type="com.vaannila.form.HelloWorldForm"/>
    </form-beans>

its says package name vaannila where in your code its different.. Seems like package name in xml is not correct..

Regards
Jordan
