This seems to be the error you encountering "Cannot retrieve definition for form bean AddressForm"

Have you defined a form bean called AddressForm in struts-config.xml?

[Sagar Rohankar]

you ll need to define something like this in struts-config.xml ..

  <form-bean name="TestAction" type="package-name.AddressForm" /> 

Try this..

Hi Vishnu,

The form-bean definition for TestAction is still missing in you struts-config.xml. ie,
<form-bean name="TestAction" type="src.rose.net.TestActionForm"> is missing.

It would be better if you paste the error message also.

Regards,
Suresh.

[baobei tuping]

you did not define the form in your struts-config.xml

[Reshma Reddy]

Hi,
i tried with form entry in struts-config.xml but it is not working getting same error message.

package src.rose.net;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

import org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMessage;

public class AddressForm extends ActionForm{

private String name=null;
private String address=null;
private String emailaddress=null;

public String getAddress() {
return address;
}
public void setAddress(String address) {
this.address = address;
}
public String getEmailaddress() {
return emailaddress;
}
public void setEmailaddress(String emailaddress) {
this.emailaddress = emailaddress;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}

public void reset(ActionMapping mapping,HttpServletRequest request){

this.name = null;
this.address = null;
this.emailaddress = null;

}
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,HttpServletRequest request){
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();

if(getName()==null ||getName().length()<1){
errors.add("name", new ActionMessage("error.name.required"));
}
if (getAddress()==null || getAddress().length()<1) {
errors.add("address", new ActionMessage("error.address.required"));
}
if (getEmailaddress()==null || getEmailaddress().length()<1) {
errors.add("emailaddress", new ActionMessage("error.emailaddress.required"));
}
return errors;
}

}

[Jimmy Clark]

<action path="/Address"
type="src.rose.net.AddressAction"
name="AddressForm"
validate="true"
input="/pages/Address.jsp"
scope="request">

<form-beans>
<form-bean name="AddressFrom" type="src.rose.net.AddressForm">

Add information about fields here

</form-bean>
</form-beans>

The value of the name attribute of the form-bean element and the value of the name attribute of the action element should be the same.
