LookupDispatchAction - Request does not contain handler parameter name

Hi,

I am new to Struts and I want to use them to design a form-wizard. I use LookupDispatchAction to realize it and begin with a dummy implementation.
But I got the following exception:
MESSAGE Request[/searchResult] does not contain handler parameter named method
DESCRIPTION The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect (Request[/searchResult] does not contain handler parameter named method).

I think this code-parts are important:

web.xml
    
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    
    
struts-config.xml
    <action-mappings>
        
        <action path="/search"
                type="de.wizard.search.control.SearchLookupDispatchAction"
                name="searchForm"
               scope="session"
               input="/jsp/search/Search.jsp"
           parameter="method">
            <forward name="reset" path="/jsp/search/Search.jsp"/>
            <forward name="forward" path="/jsp/result/SearchResult.jsp"/>
        </action>
 
        
        <action path="/searchResult"
                type="de.wizard.control.SearchResultLookupDispatchAction"
                name="searchForm"
               scope="session"
               input="/jsp/result/SearchResult.jsp"
           parameter="method">
            <forward name="back" path="/jsp/search/Search.jsp"/>
            <forward name="reset" path="/jsp/search/Search.jsp"/>
            <forward name="forward" path="/jsp/subscription/ServiceSubscription.jsp"/>
        </action>
 
        
        <action path="/serviceSubscription"
                type="de.wizard.subscription.control.ServiceSubscriptionLookupDispatchActionu"
                name="searchForm"
               scope="session"
               input="/jsp/subscription/ServiceSubscription.jsp"
           parameter="method">
            <forward name="back" path="/jsp/result/SearchResult.jsp"/>
            <forward name="reset" path="/jsp/search/Search.jsp"/>
            <forward name="forward" path="/jsp/information/CustomerInformation.jsp"/>
        </action>
 
    </action-mappings>
 
One JSP-File:
 
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tlds/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean"%>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tlds/struts-html.tld" prefix="html"%>
 
<html>
    <head>
        <title>
            Form 2 - Anzeige der Ergebnisse
        </title>
    </head>
 
    <body>
        <h1>Form 2</h1>
        <br/>
        <br/>
        <b>SearchResult.jsp (Anzeige der Ergebnisse)</b>
 
        <html:form action="/searchResult">
            <html:submit property="method">
                <bean:message key="button.back"/>
            </html:submit>
            <html:submit property="method">
                <bean:message key="button.reset"/>
            </html:submit>
            <html:submit property="method">
                <bean:message key="button.forward"/>
            </html:submit>
        </html:form>
    </body>
 
</html>
 
One LookupDispatchAction-Class:
public class SearchResultLookupDispatchAction
        extends LookupDispatchAction {
 
    protected Map getKeyMethodMap() {
        HashMap map = new HashMap();
        map.put("button.back", "back");
        map.put("button.forward", "forward");
        map.put("button.reset", "reset");
        return map;
    }
 
    public ActionForward back(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
                              HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws Exception {
        //do something
        return (mapping.findForward("back"));
    }
 
    public ActionForward forward(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
                              HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws Exception {
        //do something
        return (mapping.findForward("forward"));
    }
 
    public ActionForward reset(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
                              HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws Exception {
        //do something
        return (mapping.findForward("reset"));
    }
}

I can use the function "forward" to go through the forms, but I can't use "reset" and "back".
Always when I push the button "back" or "reset" I got the Exception I worte above.

Thanks in advance

Hal,

I'm also getting the same error. Did you solve this problem. If so, can you share with me.
