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">

<head>
<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">

<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.
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:
