Paul Benedict updated STR-3094: ------------------------------- Component/s: Core Priority: Minor (was: Major) Affects Version/s: (was: 1.3.8) 1.3.5 Summary: Emit error to log when input forward does not exist (was: provide background info on "The path of an ForwardConfig cannot be null") I have changed the title of this issue to match the improvement provided. I could not reproduce what you showed, but this will definitely help along the same lines.l > Emit error to log when input forward does not exist > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: STR-3094 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/STR-3094 > Project: Struts 1 > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 1.3.5 > Environment: linux, j2se v1.6 > Reporter: Ralf Hauser > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.4.0 > > > this happens for example if the action in a html:form tag is not existing in > the struts-config.xml > A reasons for this could be due to a typo. > Suggestion: if the ForwardConfig lookup in struts-config.xml results in > "null", please cite the action string that was used for the lookup . > The below error message is currently not particularly helpful.
