I'd appreciate some help figuring out what I'm doing wrong with my Struts/EJB application. I'm sure I've made more than one mistake, from architectural to logical. I have a simple EJB application. I implemented JAAS using DatabaseServerLoginModule. I started to build a web app on top of this, and I was able to get form-based auth working. My main page just has a set of links to pages associated with domain objects (one page per domain class), which will attempt to list all the objects of that class. I'd like to use "<logic:iterate>" on each page to iterate through each object. I'm certain of that much, at least. As I get further on with this, I get less certain of what I should be doing. For each page listing the domain objects, I'm thinking I would need an ActionForm subclass. I thought the attribute of the Form class would be the Collection containing the list of value objects I obtain through my DAO class (the EJB bridge). I thought the "reset()" method is where I would call the method on the DAO to get the collection of objects. I assume that in my "struts-config.xml", I would have a "form-beans" element containing a "form-bean" element which describes my ActionForm subclass. I also assume that I would have an "<action>" element in the "<action-mappings>" element that has the "path", "name", and "scope" attributes. I don't have a "type" setting because it didn't seem like I needed an Action class, but it's not clear to me whether that's legal (I didn't see an error message). So, to summarize the symptom I see, when the JSP compiler tries to generate and compile my servlet from the JSP, I see the following: ----------------- javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot find bean listClassesForm in scope null at org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.handlePageException(PageContextImpl.java:459) at c_00025ass._0002fclass_0002flistClasses_0002ejsplistClasses_jsp_6._jspService(_0002fclass_0002flistClasses_0002ejsplistClasses_jsp_6.java:169) ... Root cause: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot find bean listClassesForm in scope null at org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils.lookup(RequestUtils.java:495) ... ----------------- I also include here my "struts-config.xml": ----------------- <struts-config> <form-beans> <form-bean name="listClassesForm" type="com.intsoft.sgs.web.actions.ListClassesForm"/> </form-beans> <global-forwards type="org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward"> <forward name="home" path="/main/main.jsp" redirect="false" /> <forward name="listUsers" path="/user/listUsers.jsp" redirect="false" /> <forward name="listClasses" path="/class/listClasses.jsp" redirect="false" /> <forward name="listStudents" path="/student/listStudents.jsp" redirect="false" /> </global-forwards> <action-mappings> <action path="/listClasses" name="listClassesForm" scope="request"/> </action-mappings> </struts-config> ----------------- Again, I would appreciate any guidance towards the right path. -- =================================================================== David M.
