Hi Konstantina, How do you call your page? If you first call is not like ".do", then the action will not be invoked, therefore the form bean is not initialized.

Can U help me? This is my case. I have my struts-config : <form-beans> <form-bean name="MyForm" type="provider.test.MyForm"/> </form-beans> <action path="/editStream" type="provider.test.MyFormAction" name="MyForm" scope="request" validate="false"> <forward name="success" path="/streaming.jsp"/> </action> I have MyForm Bean with set and get methods and I have MyForm Action which just initializes my form: ......................... if (form == null) { System.out.println("Form is null"); form = new MyForm(); if ("request".equals(mapping.getScope())) request.setAttribute(mapping.getAttribute(), form); else session.setAttribute(mapping.getAttribute(), form); } MyForm strmform = (MyForm) form; and finally my .jsp is the following: <html:form action="/details" > <tr> <font size="5" color="#0000A0"> Destination IP Address : </font> <html:text property="ip1" size="3" /> <font color="#0000A0"> . </font> <html:text property="ip2" size="3" /> <font color="#0000A0"> . </font> <html:text property="ip3" size="3" /> <font color="#0000A0"> . </font> <html:text property="ip4" size="3" /> <font color="#0000A0"> . </font> </tr> <tr> <html:text property="port" size="3" /> <font color="#0000A0"> </tr> <tr> <html:text property="lan" size="3" /> <font color="#0000A0"> </tr> <tr> <html:text property="autostart" size="3" /> <font color="#0000A0"> </tr> </html:form> When I callthis page I get a : javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null error, and I cannot fingure out what I 'm doing wrong. I would appriciated if U could provide me with any info regarding this problem.
