I'm not sure if this is your problem, but do you have the tld directive in your jsp?
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %> -----Original Message----- From: Art Vandalay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 1:43 PM To: Struts Mailing List Subject: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null Hello everyone, I am trying to write a very simple Struts application that simply displays a JSP using bean:message to retrieve values for my field labels and buttons from a ResourceBundle. Pretty straight forward, but I am getting the following error: [exec] javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null The message seems to imply that Struts is trying to access a bean whose name is "null" but I don't know what bean that would be as I have no beans referenced on my JSP. I am only trying to invoke the logic contained within the struts-bean.tld. The logic flow is the user signs-into the application and is then forwarded to "simplePage.jsp". I used a ForwardAction to navigate from the logon page (after a successful login). But I never reach "simplePage.jsp" due to the above mentioned error. Any help would be appreciated. Here is what I have in my struts_config.xml: <struts-config> <form-beans> <form-bean name="simpleForm" type="com.company.simpleForm"/> <form-bean name="logonForm" type="com.company.LogonForm"/> </form-beans> <global-forwards type="org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward"> <forward name="logoff" path="/Logoff.do"/> <forward name="logon" path="/Logon.do"/> <forward name="welcome" path="/Welcome.do"/> </global-forwards> <action-mappings> <action path="/Welcome" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction" parameter="Welcome.jsp"/> <action path="/Logon" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction" parameter="Logon.jsp"/> <action path="/LogonSubmit" type="com.company.LogonAction" name="logonForm" scope="request" validate="true" input="Logon.jsp"> <forward name="success" path="simplePage.jsp"/> </action> <action path="/Logoff" type="LogoffAction"> <forward name="success" path="Welcome.jsp"/> </action> <action path="/simplePage" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction" parameter="simplePage.jsp"/> </action-mappings> </struts-config> Here is my JSP: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <%@ page language="java" %> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %> <html:html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="include/format.css" type="text/css"/> </head> <title> <html:base/> <bean:message key="simplePage.title"/> </title> <body> </body> </html:html> --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
