If you define type in the result configuration, the value for the result type should be defined in the package config or inherited from super packages. The result type "chain" is defined in the package "struts-default" that your base package should inherit. If you don't want to use a default result type then you can define your own type according to DTD.

<package name="interceptorpackage" extends="struts-default" abstract="true">
  <result-types>
    <result-type name="chain" class="com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionChainResult"/>
  <result-types>

In this configuration the result type "chain" is defined in the parent package "struts-default" and overridden in your package. To define a result type enough to either inherit a result type or define your own with possibility to override it.
