Hi all,

I am trying a very simple struts2 (2.1.6) application using velocity (1.6.2 and tools 2.0 beta4) ,

It's nothing more than a simple form with a single textfield.

The code follows




when I call this velocity file I get the following error






It seems the problem is near

#end

tag ,
but I don't know how to solve this,
waiting for your reply..

regards

T.Thamilvaanan

I'm not overly-familiar with the Velocity support, but it seems like you're using a random syntax.

Thanks for reply ,David,
ya
Before writing my code I refered that page.

They mentioed there as


Some VM tags require an #end statement while others do not. The inconsistency arises from a limitation in Velocity where tags must declare if they are a block or inline tag up front. As such, by default all tags are inline except for a few key ones, such as the form tag.



So obviouly I need #end tag ,and I also tried without that, then the tags were just ignored and printed as it is.

You're using dollar signs--that's Velocity-speak for variables, not tags. Try following the syntax from the doc page, which uses number/pound signs, "#".

Post the exact contents of the Velocity page, the configuration of the action you're using, and the Struts 2 version.

And you're reaching that page through the action via a method that returns the string "SUCCESS" (which is not the default, btw)?

I don't believe that will work, but I could be mistaken.

As far as I know for the Struts 2 tags to work the page would have to be reached via an action.
