As you say "welcome" works fine, your syntax looks fine. However the error message is a bit strange and doesn't correspond to the name of the forward or of the action! All I can really think of - we find ourselves in this situation a lot by the way and it's always our fault if that's any consolation at all - is to look for possibly a duplicate definition of adminMenu action/a forward that may be causing the problem or that it's actually getting to /WEB-INF/pages/admin-menu.jsp and something there is giving the error you describe.
BTW I pasted your code into our sample - we seem to use it a lot ourselves! ... and it worked OK, i.e. for the page with a link for "Adm. Funcs." and on clicking link got a 404: The requested resource (/WEB-INF/pages/admin-menu.jsp) is not available, as to be expected. Maybe try posting your complete struts-config.xml? Sorry can't help, Hue. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:mike.witt@;honeywell.com] Sent: 08 November 2002 13:49 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: html:link question Hello, I'm having a problem with html:link which gives me the Cannot "retrive ActionForward named /admin" message. My struts config has: <global-forwards> <forward name="welcome" path="/welcome.do"/> <forward name="adminMenu" path="/adminMenu.do" /> </global-forwards> <action-mappings> <action path="/welcome" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction" parameter="/WEB-INF/pages/welcome.jsp"/> <action path="/adminMenu" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction" parameter="/WEB-INF/pages/admin-menu.jsp"/> </action-mappings> My jsp has: <html:link forward="adminMenu">Administrative Functions</html:link> This gives me the error message. However, if I replace "adminMenu" with "welcome" it works just fine. Also, if I use the page attribute it works for welcome.do and not for adminMenu.do. Any help is appreciated!
