The value returned by the Struts 2 Action class method when it completes.

The value returned by the Struts 2 Action class method when it completes. Actually, it returns a String type value. The value of the String is used to select a result element of the configuration. An action configuration will often have a set of result configurations representing different possible outcomes. A standard set of result tokens are defined by the Action interface are:

String SUCCESS = "success";
String NONE    = "none";
String ERROR   = "error";
String INPUT   = "input";
String LOGIN   = "login";

Further details are available: http://struts.apache.org/release/2.3.x/docs/result-configuration.html
