I am trying to create a link from one page to another page. My main page is: enter-protein.jsp and i want to create a link in this page which will forward to another page when anybody will click the link. I already created the link but it does not properly forwarded to that page and an error is coming. I am getting the following error to create an application:

My codes are the followings:

enter-protein.java

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
    pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
 <%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="<s:url action="enter-goal" />"> Edit Goal</a>

</body>
</html>

enter-goal.jsp file is:

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
    pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>

 <%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Goal format page</title>
</head>
<body>

    <s:form>
        <h1>Goal amount:</h1>
        <s:textfield name="goal"/>
        <s:submit value="Save" />
    </s:form>

</body>
</html>

Can you please help me where I have to change so that the error will be gone.

The problem is the s:url tag.

<a href="<s:url action="enter-goal" />"> Edit Goal</a>

The server-side tag tells Struts to return a URL to an action (controller in MVC terminology) named 'enter-goal'. Actions are defined in the struts configuration file (or maybe annotations, not sure?).

To link to the JSP, just point to the JSP directly. No need for a server-side tag:

<a href="enter-goal.jsp"> Edit Goal</a>
