Thanks! I was using the @org.apache.struts2.config.Action and @org.apache.struts2.config.Result annotations.

I should take a look at the conventions plugin. I think for now I will go with XML configuration for this particular use-case in my application (as I need to deploy very soon). I am a pretty new convert to Struts 2 (coming from Spring MVC) and while I like its power, I find the choices for configuration styles a little bewildering! I'll look at the snapshot too - although not for the application I am about to launch in production!
