I'm using Tomcat.....don't know if it'll work using something else. Maybe
if you show some of your code I can help.

<html:link href="SomeAction.do"></html:link> does work, as long as you have
the .do in there (did for me, anyway).

Thanks to John and Ken for the assistance.
Point of clarification other interested newbies, using a form's 'action'
value as the link's 'href' value will not work - the reason mine wasn't
working. For instance,
<form action="SomeAction">
may work, where as
<a href="SomeAction">~~~</a> or <html:link href="SomeAction"~~~></html:link>
will not.
