Ajax using dojo plugins in struts2

Question

I am trying to make ajax call from a div using dojo plugins in struts2. I am using the following jars: struts2-core-2.1.8.1.jar

struts2-dojo-plugin-2.1.8.1.jar

I have the following jsp:

    <%@ taglib prefix="sx" uri="/struts-dojo-tags"%>
    <%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags"%>
    <html>
      <head>
        <sx:head/>
      </head>
      <body>
        <sx:div id="loginDiv" theme="ajax">
        <div style="width: 300px;border-style: solid">
          <s:form action="login"  validate="true">        
              <s:textfield name="username" label="Login name"/>
              <s:password name="password" label="Password"/>
              <sx:submit targets="loginDiv" notifyTopics="/login"/>    
          </s:form>
        </div>
        </sx:div>
      </body>
    </html>

But I am getting the following exception:

If you're just starting, I'd advise you not to use Dojo. That ajax plugin is deprecated and no longer maintained.

Try Jquery (there's even a struts-jquery plugin) which is very easy to learn, actively maintained and has loads of plugins so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.
