使用struts2框架访问mysql出现HTTP Status 500问题

web.xml struts.xml设置均无问题
经过测试发现问题出在test.java文件中query()函数的 st = (Statement) conn.createStatement();
但是单独测试test.java文件没问题出现，求解

test文件：
package operation;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class test {
static Connection conn;
static Statement st;
public static Connection getConnection() {
Connection con = null; //创建用于连接数据库的Connection对象
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");// 加载Mysql数据驱动
con = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/bookdb", "root", "root");// 创建数据连接

} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("数据库连接失败" + e.getMessage());
}
return con; //返回所建立的数据库连接
}
public static String query(){
conn = getConnection(); //同样先要获取连接，即连接到数据库
try {
String sql = "select * from author"; // 查询数据的sql语句
st = (Statement) conn.createStatement(); //创建用于执行静态sql语句的Statement对象，st属局部变量

ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(sql); //执行sql查询语句，返回查询数据的结果集
System.out.println("最后的查询结果为：");
while (rs.next()) { // 判断是否还有下一个数据

// 根据字段名获取相应的值
String name = rs.getString("Name");
int age = rs.getInt("Age");
String country = rs.getString("Country");

//输出查到的记录的各个字段的值
System.out.println(name + " " + age + " " + country );
}
conn.close(); //关闭数据库连接

} catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println("查询数据失败");
}
return "QResult";
}
}

错误信息：
HTTP Status 500 -
