Re: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null
Is it absolutely necessary to use a form bean for every action? I will only let user to click on a link and forward it to another page while sending a value. Should I define a form bean for this? And how can I do it? regards, --- victor gusz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I got the above error when I ran my struts app. I am > not > using a form for this action since I only need to > diaply it.

Re: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null
If you don't define a form in the struts config file how can you expect the form tag to work correctly? It's whole purpose is to reference the form attribute in your config and then reference the corresponding form in the request. Use the standard html form tag when you don't define a form for your action ().

Re: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null
Struts is looking for the action form defined for the "/kiosk" action (since that is what the submits to on your page. The action or action form does not exist, so you get the error of Struts looking for the "null" action form. Use a regular HTML tag to evade that issue, or define the stuff for your "/kiosk" action. -Max - Original Message - From: "ajay brar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2003 9:30 PM Subject: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null > hi! > i had heard that a form bean for a form was optional, not sure why i am > getting this error here. > i have a button on a page and it goes like > browse kiosks value="Submit"/> > in my struts-config.xml i have defined the following action mapping > type="KioskAction" > scope="request"> > > > > could someone please help with this error. > > thanks > cheers > ajay > > _ > Chat via SMS.

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.

Nine times out of ten when I get that message it is one of two things:
- I haven't referenced the bean properly in the tag. This is especially true of
anything which references a collection, because that syntax is just off.
- I haven't put the bean in the proper scope. Less frequent, but it happens.

RE: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null
This sounds like it's an issue with your resources file. Make sure it's being
referenced properly in web.xml and is in a directory under WEB-INF\classes which
corresponds to its package.

RE: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null
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.
peace,
Joe

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.

This is irrelevant. Right now you have no idea if any part of your JSP actually
executes, or if the bug occurs before it's service method is even called. Putting
logging statements there will enable you to determine that. You can also put a
scriplet in to grab your form directly from the request to see if it's actually there,
etc. If it's not there, that means there's either something wrong with your
struts-config (like maybe the form-bean element is missing, so struts doesn't know
what form bean class to instantiate), struts couldn't find the form class (though that
should throw a different exception), or you are hitting the JSP directly without going
through a struts-mapped url.
hope this helps,

Re: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null

RE: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null
Don't you miss to transfert your form bean at the end of your action like
this :
if(form!=null)
if ("request".equals(mapping.getScope()))
request.setAttribute(mapping.getAttribute(), form);
else
request.getSession().setAttribute(mapping.getAttribute(), form);

RE: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null
The error turned out to be in my mapping, I have never needed to add the
form to my request or session in my action to make it available in my
jsp? Why do you do that?

Neither me (?)
Could you send an extract of the JSP file? (kort_finn_kunde.jsp)

RE: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null
It is not really relevant, the error turned out to be that I messed up the action
mappings during refactoring.
In other words, the code from Arnaud that added the form to the request or session had
nothing to do with how I solved my problem. I have never added the form to the session
or request in forms I've made earlier either.

Neither me (?)
Could you send an extract of the JSP file? (kort_finn_kunde.jsp)

Re: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null?
Defining a form in your action is definately optional, not sure why you would get that error message - though I have had errors reporting null beans that were acctually masking a different problem. Sorry I couldn't be more help, good luck. Nicola Rankin ** "This message (and any files transmitted with it) are confidential and may be legally privileged.

Re: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null
It sounds like the JSP includes a and the action associated with the form does not have a name property. The tag does not know which action was used to start the current request/response cycle, only where it is suppose to submit to start the next cycle. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY US -- Developing Java Web Applications with Struts -- Tel: +1 585 737-3463 -- Web: http://husted.com/about/services Supriya Saha wrote: > > Hi, > I just started using Struts.

RE: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null
Hi , When you are forwording the request to the jsp page directly. The jsp page implictly populates the page(the page to which you are forwording) with the corresponding form bean. Since the form bean is not instantiated it will give this error. Make sure that form bean is instantiated when the jsp page is also displayed.

Re: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null - Whats the deal?
I think you don't have defined an action-mapping for path "insertUser". looks for the form-bean name in mappings that comes with the path that is set by action attribute. It find nothing so "null" is the name of the current bean that it is looking for, and you get this exception.
