Struts 2 s:textfield is the equivalent of input text box in the HTML. This tutorial shows how to take the input from a JSP file and pass on to the next field using Struts 2 Action class. Lets see the example.

A simple action class for taking the employee name from user.
package javabeat.net.struts2;
public class Struts2UITagsAction{
private String employeeName;
public String getEmployeeName() {
return employeeName;
}
public void setEmployeeName(String employeeName) {
this.employeeName = employeeName;
}
public String execute(){
return "success";
}
}
