This is the example project referred to in the Struts 2 documentation, Struts 2 Interceptors tutorial. See: http://struts.apache.org. To build the application's war file run mvn clean package from the project's root folder. The war file is created in the target sub-folder. Copy the war file to your Servlet container (e.g. Tomcat, GlassFish) and then startup the Servlet container. In a web browser go to: http://localhost:8080/interceptors/index.action. You should see a web page with Welcome to Struts 2!
