You need to name all of these properly, ie setName(String name)
same for setEmpId and so on. Struts cannot find your getters/setters because they don't follow naming conventions.

You're committing several errors, the worst is that
you're generating getters and setters manually (a lot of useless work), and you're also doing it wrongly: the first letter of the variable name must be capitalized:
setName( instead of setname( for variable name.
You should (for simplicity and consistency) also do it for every word of your variables with more than one word:
setEmpId( for variable empId.
You should also consider avoiding the redundancy when possible. If you have an ID field on a class Employee, just call it id, not empId... if it's inside Emp, it's obvious it's emp id and not something else id.
Use ModelDriven only if you enjoy pain. For any other purpose, it is as useful as a sausage in your pocket when facing a pack of hungry stray dogs.
Use the HTML5 DTD <!DOCTYPE html> also if you're targeting old browsers, there's no need to use 4.01 nowadays.
Never call JSPs directly like you do in your first form, always pass through actions first.
Start with this. There's plenty more.

Use the struts tags.
Load them by adding this at the beginning:
<%# taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
Use them like this:
<s:form action="output" method="post">
<s:textfield key="username" label="HR id:" />
<s:textfield key="password" label="Psswd:" />
<s:submit type="button">login</s:submit>
</s:form>
Alter the layout by switching/altering the struts ui theme and by using css.

Struts 2 Login Form Problems

I want to create a simple login form in Struts 2 but I'm having problems at seeing the input fields for some reason and after I submit the name of the user doesn't appear.
Here is the code:
Struts redirects to my struts.xml.
my struts.xml
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN"
"http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd">
<struts>
<constant name="struts.enable.DynamicMethodInvocation" value="false"/>
<!-- devMode equals mode debug information and reload everything for every request -->
<constant name="struts.devMode" value="true" />
<package name="user" namespace="/User" extends="struts-default">
<action name="Login">
<result>Login.jsp</result>
</action>
<action name="DashboardAction" class="action.DashboardAction">
<result name="success">Dashboard.jsp</result>
</action>
</package>
</struts>
The Bean class
DashboardAction.java:
package action;
public class DashboardAction {
private String username;
public String execute(){
return "success";
}
public String getUsername() {
return username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
}
The JSPs
Login.jsp
<%#page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Login</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Struts 2 Login Test</h1>
<form action="DashboardAction" id="form1" method="post" autocomplete="off">
<div class="input placeholder">
<s:textfield name="username" label="Utilizador"/>
</div>
<div class="input placeholder">
<s:password name="password" label="Password"/>
</div>
<div class="submit">
<s:submit value="Entrar" method="execute"/>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Dashboard.jsp:
<%#page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Welcome User</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello
<s:property value="username"/>
</h1>
</body>
</html>
Why doesn't this work after I press submit? It's supposed to go to Dashboard.jsp?
Here you go :
<result name="success">/Dashboard.jsp</result>
You need to specify the full-path to the JSPs in your results. Notice the /. You need to do the same to your other result pages including Login.jsp
You should map the form to the action that accept data submitted. Use Struts tags
<%# taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<s:form action="Welcome" ...
<s:textfield name="username" ...
<s:password name="unknown" ...
couldn't map the password field because in your action there's not a property. May be if you create it
private String unknown;
public String getUnknown() {
return unknown;
}
public void setUnknown(String unknown) {
this.unknown = unknown;
}
Define property password in your action class like below.
DashboardAction.java
package action;
public class DashboardAction {
private String username;
private String password; // you don't have this line in your action class.
public String execute(){
return "success";
}
public String getUsername() {
return username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
}

I m not considering execute method. I want jst the error msg printed near to fields... Help
To display fielderror you need to add <s:fielderror /> in your jsp.
It Render field errors if they exists. Specific layout depends on the particular theme. The field error strings will be html escaped by default.

You are not correctly using addFieldError method. The first parameter in that method is a name of the field. In your case it should be "username".
addFieldError("username", "Username Empty Pls provide");

Are you sure the list gender is NOT null in the JSP?
If it is null, then struts will not see it and therefore think it isn't there
