I'm new to struts and would like to get a handle on a few things. I
made certain to search the archives for an answer to my current problem,
but was unable to find an answer. So I post my question here.
I have an ActionForm in which I added a method that queries a database
and gets a name/id pair and adds them to a hashtable. On creation of
the form(in the JSP associated with the ActionForm class) I want to
populate a combobox on the form with values from the hashtable. Here's
what I tried, and the results of the code:
JSP
<html:select property="customer" size="1">
<html:options property="customers"/ labelName="value"
labelProperty="key">
</html:select>
ActionForm
public Hashtable getCustomers(){
// query database, build hashtable
return hash;
}
The ActionForm is a request scope bean, as specified in struts-config.
Here's the error I get:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot find bean exportForm in scope request
