Thanx for any help you can give me because im realy stuck

Hi Guy

The problem you arer getting is due to the action maping or bean not present in the struts-config file

Check in your jsp file whether the path given in form:action is present in your struts-config file.

As far as I can tell the action mappings and the form beans are both there.

This is the file index.jsp that creates the bean:

<%@ page language="java" %>

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-form.tld" prefix="form" %>

<html:html locale="true">

<head>

<title>Welcome to RegisterUser</title>

</head>

<body>

<html:form action="/login.do">

<bean:message key="prompt.login" />

<html:text property="login" />

<br />

<bean:message key="prompt.password" />

<html

assword property="password" />

<br />

<html:submit>

<bean:message key="index.login" />

</html:submit>

</html:form>

</body>

</html:html>

And this is the struts-config.xml file that has the mappings and beans:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_0.dtd">

<struts-config>

<form-beans>

<form-bean name="loginForm"
type="/src/LoginForm"/>
</form-beans>

<global-forwards>
<forward name="mainmenu"path="/mainmenu.jsp" />

<forward name="login" path="/login.jsp"/>
</global-forwards>

<action-mappings>


<action path="/login.do"
type="/src/LoginAction"
name="loginForm"
scope="session"
input="/index.jsp">
</action>

<action>
name ="LoginForm"
</ action>
</action-mappings>

<message-resources parameter="application"/>

</struts-config>

Can u help with that?

hi guy

I think the path given in the action mapping should be only "/login" and check for the struts-config path given in web.xml that may solve the problem

I only added the .do as a last resort, didn't think it would work anyway.

heres my web.xml file i still can't see a problem

hi guy

your web.xml is correct but i think problem is with path only you should check that one .

Best Regards

If this also wont work try one more thing in your action mapping and form bean mapping , put the value of type as the full package of the formbean like if u have something like this com.test.Loginform and com.test.loginaction as you know the package is displayed at the top of your java file try this also.

Best Regards
Pankaj

Just want to say thanx for your help. I still can't get it working but i appriciate you trying

I am not sure if you got your answer yet, but here is a suggestion

you have defined your form-bean in a wrong way, bean has to be in a package under web-inf/classes/ folder not in src folder

for example if your class is in com/user/mypack/LoginForm.java after you compiled it put your class file under
web-inf/classes/com/user/mypack/LoginForm.class

then your struts-config.xml file should have this entry

<form-beans>

<form-bean name="loginForm"
type="com.user.mypack.LoginForm"/>
</form-beans>

good luck
