+This is the example project referred to in the
+Struts 2 documentation, Exclude Params tutorial.
+See:  http://struts.apache.org.
+
+To build the application's war file run mvn clean package
+from the project's root folder.
+
+The war file is created in the target sub-folder.
+
+Copy the war file to your Servlet container (e.g. Tomcat, GlassFish) and 
+then startup the Servlet container.
+
+In a web browser go to:  http://localhost:8080/exclude_parameters/index.action.
+
+You should see a web page with Welcome to Struts 2!
+
+The application writes log messages to the console.  In Tomcat the 
+log messages can be found in catalina.out ([tomcat home]/logs).
