Error 500 with "No action instance for path could be crated" message

[Oleg V Alexeev]

Hello struts-user,

 I fill form with values and try to submit it to the ActionServlet.
 But I have Error 500 in browser and anything else. And in tomcat
 console I can view next message -
 
2000-11-14 03:14:02 - Ctx( /rusbiz ): 500 R( /rusbiz + /news.do +
null) No action instance for path /news could be created

Java code of Action -

package bcom.actions;

import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.jsp.JspException;
import org.apache.struts.action.Action;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;

class NewsAction extends Action {

    public ActionForward perform(ActionMapping mapping,
                                 ActionForm actionForm,
                                 HttpServletRequest request,
                                 HttpServletResponse response
    ) throws IOException, ServletException {        

       return (mapping.findForward("success"));

    }

}

Form has some String fields and struts-config is -
