Cannot retrive ActionForward named logon

It's not the welcome forward that is the problem, it's a forward named "logon". That's the one you need to check.

Hi,

But I just wanted to forward to the welcome page.The /logon.do action is referred in the Welcome page form action. It should not work after I click logon submitt right ?

I see what you're saying, but the error message you're getting is clearly complaining about a forward named 'login'. Try defining that forward for your login action. If it still doesn't work, it might help if you posted the contents of your welcome.jsp page.
