	</div>
</html:form>

Both ContactForm and ContactAction classes exist.

Any ideas why I get the error, Form bean not specified on mapping for action: "/contact"? The error occurs on line 11 of contact.jsp (the html form action)

I have used this same setup elsewhere and it works fine. I cannot find a typo or incorrect statement so hopefully someone can point out what I am doing wrong.

Thanks, in advance
