DynaValidatorActionForm - Cannot find bean...

[Alessandro Ilardo]

Hi there,
I'm using Struts 1.2.9 and to validate my form the DynaValidatorActionForm xml configuration.
But when I call the jsp which has the form I get the following error:

javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot find bean: "week" in any scope
at org.apache.struts.taglib.TagUtils.lookup(TagUtils.java:935)


14:12:00,060 ERROR [InsertTag] ServletException in '/WEB-INF/jsp/shift/form-datePicker.jsp': Cannot find bean: "week" in any scope
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Exception in JSP: /WEB-INF/jsp/shift/form-datePicker.jsp:35

32: <html:hidden property="task" value="list"/>
33: <h3><bean:message key="label.select" arg0="la data"/></h3>
34: <label for="week">
35: <html:text name="week" property="week" styleClass="f-name" tabindex="1" />
36: <br />
37: <span class="error"><html:errors property="week"/></span>
38: </label>

Some reference

<formset>
        <form name="/shift">
            <field property="week" depends="required,date">
                <arg0 key="week" resource="false" />
                <var>
                    <var-name>datePattern</var-name>
                    <var-value>dd/MM/yyyy</var-value>
                </var>
            </field>
        </form>
    </formset>

 <!-- Shift -->
        <form-bean name="form-SHIFT" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorActionForm">
            <form-property name="id" type="java.lang.Long" />
            <form-property name="week" type="java.lang.String"/>
        </form-bean>
 
<!-- Shift -->

        <action parameter="task" path="/shift" name="form-SHIFT" validate="true" input="shift.list" type="it.federfarma.modena.struts.action.shift.ShiftDispatchAction">
            <forward name="list" path="shift.list" />
            <!-- <forward name="read" path="shift.read" /> -->
        </action>

<html:form action="/shift" method="post" styleClass="f-wrap-1">
        <fieldset>
            <html:hidden property="task" value="list"/>
            <h3><bean:message key="label.select" arg0="la data"/></h3>
            <label for="week">
                <html:text name="week" property="week" styleClass="f-name" tabindex="1" />
                <br />
                <span class="error"><html:errors property="week"/></span>
            </label>
            <input type="submit" value="<bean:message key="label.submit"/>" class="f-submit" tabindex="12" />
        </fieldset>
    </html:form>

Thanks in advance for any help.

The problem is with the line:

<html:text name="week" property="week" styleClass="f-name" tabindex="1" />

in your JSP. In an html:text tag, the name should refer to the name of the form bean used by the JSP, or better yet, left out, because it defaults to the form bean name if omitted.
