Action Class
package com.wipro.actionclass;

import com.wipro.exception.UserNameException;
public class LoginAction extends Action {
@Override
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws Exception {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
LoginForm logForm=(LoginForm)form;
if(logForm.getUserName().equals("anupam"))
{
if(!logForm.getPassword().equals("sarkar"))
{
throw new PasswordException();
}
}
else
{
throw new UserNameException();
}
return new ActionForward("login");
}
}
ActionForm
package com.wipro.actionform;
