Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null
Hello everyone, I am trying to write a very simple Struts application that simply displays a JSP using bean:message to retrieve values for my field labels and buttons from a ResourceBundle. Pretty straight forward, but I am getting the following error: [exec] javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null The message seems to imply that Struts is trying to access a bean whose name is "null" but I don't know what bean that would be as I have no beans referenced on my JSP. I am only trying to invoke the logic contained within the struts-bean.tld. The logic flow is the user signs-into the application and is then forwarded to "simplePage.jsp". I used a ForwardAction to navigate from the logon page (after a successful login). But I never reach "simplePage.jsp" due to the above mentioned error. Any help would be appreciated. Here is what I have in my struts_config.xml: Here is my JSP: <%@ page language="java" %> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %> - Do you Yahoo!?

Is html:message Valid?
In the Struts user guide located here: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/doc-1.0.2/userGuide/building_view.html#i18n in Section 3.3.1 Building Forms With Struts, the example uses the following notation: Is this a typo or does html:message exist? I could not find any mention of it in the Struts User guide and when I attempted to use it in my own JSP I got an error stating that "message" was invalid (sorry, I lost the exact error message but it was something to that affect).

Thank you for that. I realized I was on the "old" version of the Use Guide but could not find a link on the Struts site to the 1.1 version. I've been looking for this for a while. Thank you.

RE: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null
Yes, I do. The entire JSP was included in my message and appears at the bottom of this one as well. As you can see, it is quite simple. All I want is to retrieve a value from the resource bundle and set it as the page's title.

Re: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null
I'm sorry to bug everyone again with this, but I cannot figure out what this error
message is telling me. If anyone has any insight, I'd appreciate it.
After looking through the Struts 1.1 source files, I've determined that this is the
code that throws the exception. It is located in FormTag.lookup:
// Look up the form bean definition
FormBeanConfig formBeanConfig =
moduleConfig.findFormBeanConfig(mapping.getName());
if (formBeanConfig == null) {
JspException e =
new JspException(messages.getMessage("formTag.formBean",
mapping.getName()));
pageContext.setAttribute(Globals.EXCEPTION_KEY, e,
PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE);
throw e;
}
My original message is below with the struts-config.xml and JSP page itself.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I am not referencing my own bean. The only thing my JSP tries to do is grab a value
from a resource bundle and set the title of the page to that value. This is my entire
JSP:
This is the config file:

RE: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null
yes, this is correct. I've already checked this.
The way I created my application was
1. Took an existing Struts example, put the .war into my app server
2. Tested the sample to see if it worked -- it did.
3. Added my own JSP
4. Modified the resource bundle
5. Modified struts_config
6. Rebuilt the app
7. Tried to run it.
But now I've been chasing this error for almost 2 full days with no progress. I'm
ready to give up on struts.

RE: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null
Yes, this is the name of the class. I checked this 100s of times, even copying and
pasting the package and class name from the .java file. I'm sure this is correct.
I have Struts logging turned up to #6 but that isn't putting out any messages. There
is very little in the JSP so I don't think that logging directly from the JSP would
help. There is no "body" to the JSP.
Joe Barefoot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Is your form bean class actually named:
"com.client.form.simpleForm" ?
or is supposed to have a capital 'S': "com.client.form.SimpleForm" ?
Have you tried putting any logging statements into the simplePage.jsp (just sys-outs
would work)? You should put a few in so that you can see exactly where/when the
exception is occuring...it may even be thrown before the JSP is actually executed.

Cannot Find Bean In Scope
I am working a very simple JSP page using Struts. The page has some field labels and 1 input field. It is this input field that is causing me problems. Whenever I put into my JSP page and rebuild/run my application I get the following runtime error: Cannot find bean org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN in any scope There is no BEAN inside the html taglib, so I have no idea what this message is trying to tell me. At the point of error my application is simply trying to display this page by forwarding to it from an Action. I expect the input field to be empty when the page displays. I'm not sure how my Form comes into play, if at all, in that scenario, but I've tried coding the following, all of which result in the error: By the way, all my tags work fine. They pull the appropriate value from a resource file. It is only the tag that causes this problem. Any tag will fail. I do have the following at the top of my JSP: <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %> %> >From what I understood, the name of the form is optional -- Struts will get it from the config file.

404 (Not Found) When Errors Occur
I am new to struts and am having trouble with handling invalid input. I have the following action mappings in struts-config: The 1st action is used to navigate to the "lookup" page, which will display all fields as blanks. This works fine. If the user clicks the "Lookup" button on the page, the 2nd action is invoked. If the user does not enter valid search criteria, then I want to display an error message and navigate back to the same JSP. I do not know what to put into the "input" attribute of the 2nd "action" element. My form does have a "validate" method which is getting called and which is creating and returing ActionErrors. So I know struts is trying to display the page associated with the "input" attribute, but I am obviously entering the wrong value. What exactly, should go in that value? Is it the name of the JSP, the name of the "action", the path to the JSP...? I've tried all of the following, but they all result in a 404 - Not Found message: input="BadgeLookup.jsp" input="TA/BadgeLookup.jsp" input="BadgeLookup" input="/BadgeLookup" Note that the JSP is located under a directory called "TA" my .war file.

Re: 404 (Not Found) When Errors Occur
Geeta, Thanks. That worked perfectly. I don't understand why though. According to the struts-config.dtd the "input" attribute is a: "Module-relative path of the action or other resource to which control should be returned if a validation error is encountered." Maybe I'm just too new to struts to understand the terminology, but doesn't this tell me that the value of "input" should be an "action", not a JSP? I'm not trying to find flaws in struts or it's documentation... I'm just trying to understand the terminology and how Struts works as I am very new to it.

Is This A Bug?
The logic:present tag checks to see if a field in a form is null. However, when a form is created after an HTML form is submitted, Struts will pass an empty String into the setter method if the corresponding value on the page is empty. This seems inconsistent. It seems (to me, anyway) that Struts should either: 1. check for null or empty string in PresentTag.condition - OR - 2. pass null into the setter methods Here is my scenario: I have a seach page. The user performs a search. If the search is successful, then I fill in a Form with values returned from the search. These values are, of course, mapped to HTML elements on the page. I also want to enable some buttons on the page in that case. If the search was not successful, I want to disable the buttons. The way I sought to accomplish this was to use logic:present to see if a certain field was filled in on the form. My form has a validate method. In the case where the user has not entered a search criteria (left the field blank), I want to return an error message but keep the buttons disabled. The problem is that Struts is calling my setter methods with empty Strings, then calls validate(). validate() returns errors and the JSP is reconstructed. However, since the field being evaluated in logic:present is now an empty String (no longer a null) the buttons enable when they shouldn't. I guess I could reset the values in my form to null if the validate fails, but that seems like it should be unnecessary. Not to mention that it would be a lot of work to go through all my forms as I'm sure this problem will come up elsewhere in my application. Has anyone else had problems because of the "inconsistency" between logic:present and empty String fields? If so, how did you solve it? __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: Universally Accessable Object
I'm not sure what app server you are using, but some (including WebLogic) allow for "startup" classes. These are classes that will be instantiated when the server is started. You could identify your class as a startup class and then store it in the proper scope.

LookupDispatchAction w/ Buttons & Images
I have a page that has 7 text buttons, an HTML table with repeating rows of data, and 2 images. The images, Previous and Next, allow a user to scroll through the data that is displayed in the HTML table. I chose to implement this as a LookupDispatchAction originally because each of the 7 buttons will submit the form. But the 2 images will also need to submit the form. I'm not sure how to do this. How do I tell Struts to set the parameter value identified in my struts_config for the image that was clicked as it does for the text buttons? There is no "property" attribute on (well, there is but its deprecated and was used for a different purpose). Do I need to do this myself in my javascript that submits the form? If anyone has done this before and has any examples/advice I'd appreciate it. TIA. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Which Archive
Which search engine should I be using to search the Struts archive for previous answers to my questions? I have 2 searching URLs: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ This one is from the main Jakarta web page. Searching this archive is very quick, but the results are almost usually useless. http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/SummarizeList?listId=42 This one is from the main Struts page.

More Than Form On A JSP
I am developing an architecture for the rest of my development staff to use on a new J2EE project starting next month. I have the following situation: A JSP contains a form which allows the user to lookup a list of information. For example, if you enter an SSN the JSP will display some demographic information about the person associated with the SSN (first name, last name, etc) along with a list in an HTML table of payment history. The HTML table displays a subset of data, say 10 rows at a time. The total number of rows could be much higher. The table comes with buttons to navigate through the next and previous rows in the table. The point is the user can display the "previous" and "next" items in the table while the demographic information at the top remains displayed. The HTML table is built using a custom taglib I've developed. I also wrote a custom Action, called NavigateAction, which handles all the logic associated with clicking "previous" and "next". I've wrapped the HTML table in a form so that Struts can direct it to NavigateAction. NavigateAction gets the next 10 rows of data, puts them into the request object, and forwards to the same page we came from. Finally, the taglib builds the table from the data stored in the request. All that is working fine. All this allows my developers to reuse this HTML table logic on any JSP that has a similar appearance (static data at the top and scrollable data at the bottom). There is a problem however. After the page is redisplayed, the top part of the page contains no data. All of it has been lost because the form associated with it is out of scope (it was scoped to the request). I don't want to scope the forms to the session as they will accumulate as the user navigates through the application, plus the data in them will be stale if the user returns to a JSP they were at a while ago. Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this? __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

ActionForm Does Not Contain Dynamically Set Data
I have a web page (the "parent") that opens a child window using javascript. The parent window sets a field on the child window. The child window needs to use that data, as it is opening, to perform a DB query and display information on itself. The problem is that, even though the parent successfully sets the data on the child, I have no access to it in my ActionForm or in the request object. Is there a way to make that happen? __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

RE: ActionForm Does Not Contain Dynamically Set Data
Yes, a query parameter is an option. The reason I don't want to use query parameters is we have a standard to avoid using them if at all possible as they expose data to the user. This particular piece of data in question doesn't present a security risk by being exposed, but exposing it does go against our standards so I'd like to find another way to pass it. --- "Miller, Jason" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Are you saying that you open the window, then set a > field value in that > child window to something from the parent, and you > want to use that value to > do something on the server? why not pass the value > as a querystring > parameter? > > > -Original Message- > > From: Art Vandalay > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 11:59 AM > > To: Struts Mailing List > > Subject: ActionForm Does Not Contain Dynamically > Set Data > > > > > > I have a web page (the "parent") that opens a > child > > window using javascript.

RE: [OT] JavaScript: ActionForm Does Not Contain Dynamically Set Data
I think you've misunderstood... The child is not an action, it is a page. A page that is opened using Javascript. In this case, the parent window is never submitted. >From what I can tell about Struts (I'm pretty new to it) is that the only way to get data onto a form is via the submission of a .

RE: [OT] JavaScript: ActionForm Does Not Contain Dynamically Set Data
Ray, I am doing that part. The problem is that I want that value to be available to the child's Action class ** as the child window is opening **. I am expecting it to be on the form, but the value in the form is null even though the value is successfully set on the child. How can I get Struts to set the value of this field on the form? There has to be a way because I've noticed in Struts that if you have a field defined on your JSP with no corresponding get/set methods on the Form, an exception is thrown when the window is opening. So Struts has to be doing some sort of validation between the JSP's form and the form class at window open time, but it doesn't seem to be setting the data. --- Ray Madigan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > yes! > > if you are usine javascript you can do something > like the following. > > in the parent create a hidden field > > > > when the user submits the form have the onclick > javacsript function > run that sets the document.forms[0].foo.value = xxx; > > where xxx is the path to the value in the child > window. > > > -Original Message- > From: ROSSEL Olivier > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 9:11 AM > To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' > Subject: RE: [OT] JavaScript: ActionForm Does Not > Contain Dynamically > Set Data > > > > > I have a web page (the "parent") that opens a > child > > > window using javascript.

RE: [OT] JavaScript: ActionForm Does Not Contain Dynamically Set Data
I couldn't care less if I piss him off. He is certainly not the only person on this list who can provide help. He's just a fish in a very large pond (i.e. insignificant in the long run). So far he has shown me that is just an a**hole. He didn't read my original posting thoroughly, thought it was off-topic, and then flamed me. As noted by at least one other person, the post was not off topic. I've gotten my answer from one of the other many knowledgable people on this list. And I've gotten plenty of support from people on this list who are less than happy with the "big brother" attitude of people on this list. --- Mark Galbreath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > And either is better than being a "big lisper." > > ;-) > > BTW: Art, I don't know what the problem is, but > James is one of the most > helpful and knowledgeable people on this list.
