public class Struts2UITagsAction{
	private String employeeName;

	public String getEmployeeName() {
		return employeeName;
	}

	public void setEmployeeName(String employeeName) {
		this.employeeName = employeeName;
	}
	public String execute(){
		return "success";
	}
}

<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags"%>
