Thanks for the quick reply! Hmmm ok that seems to work but when I look in the ActionConfig javadoc, I see this for the name attribute:
Name of the form bean, if any, associated with this Action. Shouldn't Struts have that dummy form built in? And refer to that automatically when the name is empty? I forgot to mention that I'm using 1.1b2.
