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

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