Problem with <html:form>

[Mnau Lubi]

Hi!

Using this code:

  		<tbody>
		<html:form action="/searchfriend" method="POST">      	
	
			    		 <html:multibox property="multiBox" value="a" />a
			                <html:multibox property="multiBox" value="b" />b
			                <html:multibox property="multiBox" value="c" />c
			                <html:multibox property="multiBox" value="d" />d
			                <html:multibox property="multiBox" value="e" />e
			    	
		
		                           <html:submit value="Submit"/>
		</html:form>
   		</tbody>  

I am getting the error:

   SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet action threw exception
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Form bean not specified on mapping for action: "/searchfriend" 

I tried with /searchfriend.do as well but I get the same error. AS I understand, the mapping points to the struts-config file where all the mappings are made, but there I have:

   <action 
        	path="/searchfriend"
        	type="web.struts.action.SearchFriendAction">
        	<forward name="searchfriend" path="/jsp/searchfriend.jsp" />
        </action>   

Can anyone help me please?

Thank you in advanced

In struts-config.xml file, check whether form-bean definition for the Form is provided, like

  
   <form-beans>
              <form-bean name="SearchFriendForm" type="full class name of SearchFriendForm " />
		<!-- other form-bean definitions -->
	</form-beans>  

And in action mapping declaration, specify the name of the 'form-bean' to the action's name attribute, like

     <action 
        	path="/searchfriend"
                name="SearchFriendForm"
        	type="web.struts.action.SearchFriendAction">
        	<forward name="searchfriend" path="/jsp/searchfriend.jsp" />
        </action>

Thanks it works .

Just for the records:

If anyone has a problem like this, first read: http://struts.apache.org/1.x/userGuide/building_controller.html

And then, you have an example here (although the struts-config.xml is not showed): http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/J2EE/StrutsCreatingtheController.htm
