这个错误是在使用了struts的标签<s:fielderror/>才发现的。报错的页面如下所示，是一个查询条件输入的页面：
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>Query something</title> </head> <body> <form action="staff_getList.action" method="post"> FullName:<input type="text" name="fullname" /><br> Position:<input type="text" name="position" /><br> Status:<input type="text" name="status" /><br> Page:<input type="text" name="page" /><br> Rows:<input type="text" name="rows" /><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> </body> </html>这个页面输入的查询条件是用来查询t_staff表的。与t_staff表对应的POJO类是StaffVo类，如下：
package com.entry_exit.vo; import java.sql.Date; import javax.annotation.Resource; import org.springframework.stereotype.Component; @Component public class StaffVo { private int id; private String staffid; private String fullname; @Resource private PositionVo position; private String email; private String mobile; private Date birthday; private String status; //省略getter和setter方法 }发生错误的原因就是查询页面中的这一行<input type="text" name="position" />，ModelDriven将页面的输入的信息添加到相应的vo类中时，position属性的类型不相符，导致了这个错误。将其改为<input type="text" name="position.position" />，问题就解决了。
在使用struts标签<s:fielderror/>之前，这个错误导致的问题并不是这样。之前的struts.xml文件是这样的（没有添加name="input"的result）：
<action name="staff_*" class="staffAction" method="{1}"> <result name="staffList" type="redirect">/user/home.jsp</result> <result name="nodata" type="redirect">/user/query.jsp</result> </action>这时控制台报的错有两种，如下：
1、 在输入position的情况下，报的错误为：

2、不输入position的情况下，报如下的错误：

总结：这次犯了一个低级错误，但是暴露了我目前的一些大的问题。
所有的action都应该设置<result name="input">error.jsp</result>，写在<global-results>中应该是更好的选择（这样不用在每个action中配置<result name="input">error.jsp</result>了）。如： <global-results> <result name="input">/error.jsp</result> </global-results>应该充分利用框架提供的功能，比如今天如果能早点使用struts2的标签<s:fielderror/>，那么能更早的发现这个问题。附上error.jsp页面的代码（通过<%@taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>使用struts2的标签）： <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%> <%@taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>Insert title here</title> </head> <body> <div style="color:red;"> <s:fielderror/> </div> </body> </html>
