Does selenium webdriver support Struts 2 - selenium

Question

I want to use Selenium WebDriver API using Struts2 Framework. So will it be supported or not.
If not then what should I do.
It means, suppose I have an textfield on my jsp, linked with action class and I want search on www.google.com with my textfield value by sendKeys to element "q".
What am trying to do is
index.jsp :
<s:form action="test">
<s:textfield name="search" label="Enter Search "></s:textfield>
</s:form>
</body>
struts.xml:
<action name="test" class="com.actions.TestAction">
<result name="SUCCESS">/success.jsp</result>
</action>
ActionClass :
package com.actions;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;
public class TestAction extends ActionSupport
{
private String search;
public String getSearch() {
return search;
}
public void setSearch(String search) {
this.search = search;
}
private static final long serialVersionUID = -1241657564582564726L;
#Override
public String execute() throws Exception {
WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
element.sendKeys(getSearch());
element.submit();
System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());
System.out.println(driver.getPageSource());
driver.quit();
return "SUCCESS";
}
}
Error :

Answer 1

Until someone comes along with a better answer... I've never used struts directly but I think I have a basic idea of what it does.
Selenium operates on the front end, as the user would. I believe struts is a back-end only technology, which means that the browser doesn't even know it's receiving something assembled by struts. Struts just helps the server assemble the html, css, and javascript.
Selenium operates well with html, javascript, and css, and since that's what your server is sending out, it should all be good, it should "support it" just fine!
