Problem in struts validator

Question

hai
I have a problem while using the struts validator in my program.
It gives the error as:
HTTP Status 404 - Servlet action is not available
type Status report
message Servlet action is not available
description The requested resource (Servlet action is not available) is not available.
The program is given below
File : one.jsp
<html:form action="/test" method="post">
<table width="309">
<tr>
<td width="149"><div align="right">User Name: </div></td>
<td width="148"><html:text property="username" value=""/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><div align="right">PassWord: </div></td>
<td><html:password property="password" value="" /> </td>
</tr>
     <tr>
<td><div align="right">Number: </div></td>
<td><html:password property="number" value="" /> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><div align="right"></div></td>
<td><html:submit /> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</html:form>
web.xml file is ordineary file which contains the tag which is necessary for the struts.

<arg0 key="test.number"/>
</field>
</form>
</formset>
</form-validation>
File validator-rules.xml
The validator-rules.xml file is default validator-rules.xml file.
Iam using the two java file for ActionForm and Action
ActionForm file
package struts1;
import org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorForm;
public class bean1 extends ValidatorForm
private String username=null;
private String password=null;
private int number=0;
public void setUsername(String username)
this.username=username;
public String getUsername()
return username;
public void setPassword(String password)
this.password=password;
public String getPassword()
return password;
public void setNumber(int number)
this.number=number;
public int getNumber()
return number;
Action class:
package struts1;
import struts1.bean1;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
import org.apache.struts.action.Action;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
import org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorForm;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
public class one extends Action
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,ActionForm form1,HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException,ServletException
String uname=null;
String pword=null;
String target=new String("success");
int num=0;
HttpSession session=request.getSession(true);
try
if(form1 !=null)
bean1 form=(bean1) form1;
uname=form.getUsername();
pword=form.getPassword();
num=form.getNumber();
session.setAttribute("uname",uname);
session.setAttribute("word",pword);
session.setAttribute("num",""+num);
catch(Exception e)
return mapping.findForward(target);
In two.jsp file Iam just getting the session value and displaying the result.
The Action and ActionForm are used inside the struts1 file which is placed inside the classes folder.
The Two file is also compiled successful.
When executing the one.jsp file is displayed but when clicking the submit button it giving the error as servlet action is not available.
So Iam try to change some coding in the Action Class
In the execute method I changed ValidatorForm instead of ActionForm.
but it giving the same error.
The same error is displayed when Iam trying the DynaValidatorForm
instead of struts bean class i.e ActionForm.
If any one knows what is the problem in the program please give some instrutction to correct the error or give some simple example program for practice.

Add the Validator as the 6th argument and it should work fine.
