<h1 id="result-annotation">Result Annotation</h1>
<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">@Result</code> annotation allows the definition of <code class="highlighter-rouge">Action</code> results in the <code class="highlighter-rouge">Action</code> class rather than an XML file.</p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>The @Result annotation lives at the Action_class_ level and not the method level. This matches what is found in an XML-based Action configuration. <strong>Do not be tempted to annotate your Action’s methods; it will not work.</strong></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>In order for <code class="highlighter-rouge">@Result</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">@Results</code> annotations to be configured correctly you must set the <code class="highlighter-rouge">actionPackages</code> filter <code class="highlighter-rouge">init-param</code> to a comma-separated list of packages containing the annotated <code class="highlighter-rouge">Action</code> classes. See <a href="zero-configuration.html">Zero Configuration</a> for further information; there are <code class="highlighter-rouge">Action</code> class naming conventions if you don’t implement the <code class="highlighter-rouge">Action</code> interface and other tidbits there.</p>
