Add a slash in the path attribute.

[abheeshek reddy]

You mean
<html:form action=""> will call action at the loading itself.

Hi,

Intead of that, you can use following code to execute your action.
write the below code in the jsp scriptlet of welcome page

response.sendRedirect("tlistForm.do");

There is logic redirect tag for this purpose I guess.

As mentioned earlier put"/" in your path attribute and also to which page you are forwarding after the action.

[AKHIL Thakur]

try this


<html:form action="/whatever.do" method="post">

[Dishpal Bhaluja]

<logic:redirect forward="toaction" />

where toaction is a global forward and it forwards you to your required page.
