Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null - JSP Error

[mokshavathi pasuparthi]

Hi Struts Users,

i am suffering alot with the JSP error "Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null "

By refering in Google, I got to know that the error will come because of the name attribute is not in the action mappings.

But, I am not using any ActionForm for my Action calss. so I mapped like this

<action type="com.boa.docwf.rfax.accountauto.action.adminutils.DisplayInActiveUsers" input="index.jsp" parameter="method" scope="request" path="/displayinactiveusers">

<forward name="inActiveUserAccount" path="/jsp/ViewInActiveUser.jsp" />

</action>


I am getting the jsp error.

Please do let me know the reason for this.
THanks in Advance

Please do not double post. Moving this to JSP.

What framework are you using, Struts? This is important information that should be incldued in your post.

That's the problem. If you want to reference an action in an <html:form> tag, it must reference an ActionForm. Even if you don't think you need it, you must define it and have your action mapping reference it.

The action form will contain the bean representation of the form that you have submitted for processing. Check whether the object type you are trying to access, is explicitly put in the request or not.

Since I am a newbie to Struts(1.x.x), I need some of your votes that the above statement is true! :?:

Thank you all.
