Hi everyone! I'm new to struts and i just can't figure out why tomcat's giving me an error. I've manage to run a simple example but when i use the bean:message tag i get this error

ERROR IS:

Hi Mona,
Let me tell you that you have not mentioned any - form-beans or action-mapping in your struts-config.xml.

I suggest you better go through a good struts book and try out a simple example mentioned in it.

Try out the simple example in the ebook by Shreekanth Shenoy.

This message indicates that Struts can't find your ApplicationResources.properties file. Given the entry in your struts-config.xml file, it should be in the WEB-INF/classes directory.

Hi Mona,
it seems ur error is due to lack of mappings.U have to include mappings in ur struts-config.tld file.It would be easier to go through "Mastering Jakarta struts 1.0" by james goodwill.It gives a good idea of the execution steps.Plus U have to take care of cases in names and also the web.xml file.
So Have a look at the book.
Any more help required...
let me know
cheers
