Re: I'm bagging my head on the keyboard on this one: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean PlayerMessageForm

[Mikael Eriksson]

Hi

  The problem should be in your mapping for the "editMessage" action, since
that is what the form refers to. Since the error message has 
"PlayerMessageForm"
with a capital 'P' and the name in the struts-config for the bean is
"playerMessageForm" with a 'p', you might have that misspelling in the
"editMessage" mapping.

  Regards.

Re: I'm bagging my head on the keyboard on this one: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean PlayerMessageForm

[Chuck Cavaness]

The exception gets thrown from the FormTag in the following code:

  // Look up the form bean definition
  FormBeanConfig formBeanConfig = 
appConfig.findFormBeanConfig(mapping.getName());
  if (formBeanConfig == null) {
JspException e = new JspException
 (messages.getMessage("formTag.formBean", mapping.getName()));
   pageContext.setAttribute(Action.EXCEPTION_KEY, 
e,  PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE);
   throw e;
  }

If you look at the code, it seems like the only reason this exception is 
thrown is if it can't find a FormBeanConfig with the name returned by 
mapping.getName(). I would suggest that you turn your debugging levels up 
high and look at the log output. It could be something as simple as a 
ClassPath issue or for some reason, the framework is not able to find or 
load the .class file. I'm sure that you have ruled out a typo between the 
form-bean definition and the value used in the action?

You could also put a few print lines in the FormTag class and recompile. 
That would for sure tell you what's going on.

Just a few thoughts,
Chuck

No that was just from evidently bad cutting-n-pasting.

It *does* have "type"

:P

Is this a typo or maybe the problem:

-- snip --
..

  

..

You'll notice that you have "ype" not "type".

My names' not "Syntax Error" for nothing!

I'm bagging my head on the keyboard on this one: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean PlayerMessageForm

[Kevin J. Turner]

I'm getting this error message:

Cannot retrieve definition for form bean PlayerMessageForm

(PlayerMessageForm is a form bean in my project)

Here is that path I am following (struts-config entries to follow:
1) (other actions.. omitted for brevity)
2) /messageTypePRE.do, which forwards to...
3) /messaging/start.jsp, which submits to
4) /messageTypePOST.do, which forwards to...
5) /playerListPRE.do, which forwards to...
6) /messaging/playerList.jsp, where I get the error message

I know for a fact that the action playerListPRE.do does complete its
processing. I verified this with the debugger and also with
System.out statements. Its when it tries to load the JSP page,
player_list.jsp. that it craps out. Even with the following bare-
bones version of player_list.jsp:

-- snip --
  
  

  
  
-- snip --

I have the following mappings (among others) in my struts-config.xml
file:

-- snip --
..

  

..

  
  
  



   


-- snip --


So what is causing "Cannot retrieve definition for form bean
PlayerMessageForm" error??? Anyone?
