The import org.apache.struts cannot be resolved (ActionForm cannot be resolved to a type)

[Rakesh Rajmohan]

Hello.. When I run my web application from Eclipse, I get the above error. (But I have all library/.jar files needed, including struts.jar in my 'Web App Libraries' of Eclipse). Not sure what exactly is the problem.

I get exception the org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Exception in JSP: /loginPage.jsp:48

48: <html:form action="/login" type="inputforms.org.gov.csr.form.LoginForm" name="LoginForm" onsubmit="return loginvalidation(this);" scope="request">

and the below as root cause

(JRE - 1.5 Tomcat - 5.5) All the needed class files are in place.. Any help around this would be grateful. Thanks!

I'm afraid there is some property called "type" in html:form tag. Also html:form takes its bean form the action mapping, no need to defined "type".

HTH

Hello.. This is my include directive..

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html" prefix="html" %>

Also the type mapping is for my actionForm and not for my action whose mapping is available in action mapping.

The important thing is, the same projects runs in other machine, but not in mine..

Not sure whats going wrong

*Something* is probably wrong with your deployment--for whatever reason the class isn't being found.

I didn't ask this, I pointed out the absence of "type" attribute in html:form tag, see the link I posted earlier.

Geerally, the html:form has an action whose "mapping" is given in struts-config.xml with associated Action Form "name". In you canse the entry for same action will be like this;

<form-bean name="LoginForm" type="inputforms.org.gov.csr.form.LoginForm"/>
<action path="/login" type="com.org..." name="LoginForm"/>
