[FIXED] How to use a servlet in annotations based struts2 project having no struts.xml

Issue

I am new to Struts and I have to add a functionality to a legacy system.

I have to create a servlet that's required to be accessed from a JSP page. I created one and added servlet-mapping in the web.xml file but it always shows an error like the following:

There is no Action mapped for namespace [/myServlet] and action name
   [test] associated with context path [/MyProject]

I have searched for the solution but the one I got here is for the sturts.xml entry and I am not using the struts.xml, rather I am using the annotations.

Could someone please tell me how to use excludePattern in a annotations based Struts2 project? NOTE: I tried adding the exclue-pattern in my web.xml like this:

<init-param>
  <param-name>struts.action.excludePattern</param-name>
  <param-value>/FileUploadServlet</param-value>
</init-param>

But it's still not working.

Solution

Well, I have solved the problem by adding struts.xml to my project and adding only the constant there like this:

<constant name="struts.action.excludePattern" value="/MyServlet"/>

I was first wondering that I will have to provide all the mappings manually instead of the annotations but it worked without doing so.
