You will have to import the package containing the LookupForm class.

Hi Ram,

Thank you for you quick response. I use
Package com.actmort;

The assumption is that this will point to WEBAPP\ACTMORT\WEB-INF\classes\com\actmort\LookupForm.class

I am using netbeans as well..

I am unable to compile. But the error in itself is because it can not access the LookupForm. I am assuming and please, correct me, there something blocking it from accessing it... If this is correct I need to check the scope because I can see it there but it is not accessing it...

Is this a typo:

ackage com.actmort;

And..
Is LookupForm in the com.actmort package?

If not, you'll need to import it.

Hi Ben,

Its a copy paste typo. It is actually correct on the code.

Yes, the LookupForm is in the com.actmort package under the class directory.

actmort/web-inf/classes/com/actmort/LookupForm

I was thinking it was the class scope type... I need to double check that this evening!!!

Solution: differing version and deprecated objects in Strtus the root cause!

Struts
1.2.8 vs 1.1
