Please UseCodeTags. Unformatted code/config/etc. is difficult to read. You can edit your post to include them using the button or re-post the question with proper formatting.

You didn't post the root cause of the exception, which would be helpful.

Sagar,
Thank you for the useful link. I've copied the code above and I have done all the instructions, however it does not work. I really have been confused about problem. Is there any other reason for this problem?

Gazelle you've still not provided the complete stack trace of the exception. You have been asked to provide the part of the stack trace below the root cause which might tell the exact cause of the exception...

You should take out the save & delete method out of your ActionForm class
and create business class that handle the save and delete into the database.

I have never seen forms that has code to handle DB access, not good practice

Bellow is the complete errors. With regards to db handling, I always handle DB connection inside Form class and it works. I don't know how to handle it with business class; do you have sample source code about this?
My struts applications work well, I do not know what happens that they do not work any more. Is it possible that problem is connected to my struts library and tlds?

Take out the save() and delete() method and create another class

let's say TestActionDataBaseService.java in package struts1.DataBaseService

and pass in your Form or create a FormBean and pass them into save(ActionForm testForm) or delete(ActionForm testForm)
method in TestActionDataBaseService.java,

by the way, why is the save() return a string but in the action class



this doesn't seem compilable to me. am I missing something?

I would also recommend looking into PreparedStatment instead of Statement just in case if later on you have to write complex query.

Sorry, I don't really know what's wrong with the Exception, maybe the other Struts expert can help

Hope this helps

Remove the "attribute" from the action mapping, its useless when you define the "name"

Thank you people for the recommendation. I understand that the problem is related to ReplicationDriver. The JSP page loads when I comment “ReplicationDriver driver = new ReplicationDriver();”
I’ve also created TestActionDataBaseService class according to Davie recommendation. The test.jsp page can be load but I getting error when I click “save” button. I am not sure whether or not got the intention properly. However, I’ve copied the updated save method and the stack trace bellow:

public class TestActionDataBaseService {



public class TestActionForm extends ActionForm {

The error seems quite clear to me. The ReplicationDriver class is not found. See if the mysql jar file is in the WEB-INF/lib folder or not...

Thank you very much for your help. That was exactly the point. The mysql connector jar file was outside of the lib folder.
Now it works well. Really thanks

That's why they said TellTheDetails and don't make us guessing(like I did).
