Can you paste your struts-config.xml mappings. That will be helpful

[amit mawkin]

this error will usually come when you have wrong mappings done in struts-config.xml, what basically happens is you try to submit your form to a url pattern like /submit.do but it does not find any entry in struts-config.xml

u should remember that in your jsp you have to write /url.do
and your struts-config.xml will have path like /url.

in your struts config.cml you should have some entry like

<action-mappings>
<action path="/submit"
type="example.stock.StockAction"
name="stockForm"
scope="request">
<forward name="success"
path="/result.jsp"/>
</action>
</action-mappings>
