I created the following action 

@Action(value = "searchPersonByName", results = {@Result(type = "json",
    params = {"status", "204" }) })
public List<Person> searchPerson() {
    return new ArrayList<Person>();
}

Deploying struts application with this action throws the following error

Caused by: The Result type [json] which is defined in the Result annotation on the class [class com.mk.gk.actions.PersonAction] or determined by the file extension or is the default result type for the PackageConfig of the action, could not be found as a result-type defined for the Struts/XWork package [com.mk.gk.actions#/#/] - [unknown location]

I want to call this action in jquery.ajax with dataType as "json". How to achieve this? How to get this action type as json.

    You should provide it if needed to the parent package, at the moment Struts2 doesn't have annotation based configuration equivalent. – Roman C Jul 02 '14 at 10:24

Struts2 now supports specifying the parent package through annotations. Consequently, this error can also be resolved by adding the annotation @ParentPackage("json-default") to your class, assuming you are using the Convention Plugin, which is now common practice.

  1. Include Struts2-Convention-Plugin
  2. Include Struts2-JSON-Plugin
  3. In you struts.xml, make your Package extending json-default.

Check out the Struts2-jQuery-Plugin too, to perform jQuery stuff easily.
