How to link Custom interceptor using Annotation

I had a custom interceptor in hand and I want it to be associated to an Action class using annotation. I had added interceptor-ref using the one declared in struts.xml but am getting exception as,

 "SEVERE: Exception starting filter Struts2
Unable to load configuration. - [unknown location]"

My Action class is as follows,

@Action(value = "/login", results = {
            @Result(name = "success", location = "/Welcome.jsp"),
            @Result(name = "error", location = "/Login.jsp") },
            interceptorRefs = {
                @InterceptorRef("defaultStack"),
                 @InterceptorRef("myLogging")}
    )
    public String validateCredentials() {
        if (this.userName.equals("Raj") && this.password.equals("aspire")) {
            return "success";
        } else {
            // addActionError(getText("error.login"));
            return "error";
        }
    }

My struts.xml is as follows,

<package name="default" extends="struts-default" namespace="/">
        <interceptors>
            <interceptor name="myLogging" class="org.struts.hello.MyLoggingInterceptor"/>
        </interceptors>
    </package>

Error Stack:

I do not have much exp using annotation with or without struts2 but i believe you are using convention-plugin.Here is a quick shot of what they saying about your problem.

If you get errors like "Unable to find interceptor class referenced by ref-name XYZ". This means that the package where Convention is placing your actions, does not extend the package where the interceptor is defined. To fix this problem either

Use @ParentPackage annotation(or struts.convention.default.parent.package) passing the name of the package that defines the interceptor.

Create a package in XML that extends the package that defines the interceptor, and use @ParentPackage(or Struts.convention.default.parent.package) to point to it.

For more details refer there documentation

convention-plugin
