I am not referencing my own bean. The only thing my JSP tries to do is grab a value from a resource bundle and set the title of the page to that value. This is my entire JSP: <html:html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="include/style.css" type="text/css"/> </head> <title> <bean:message key="simplePage.title"/> </title> <body> </body> </html:html> This is the config file: <struts-config> <form-beans> <form-bean name="simpleForm" type="com.client.form.simpleForm"/> <form-bean name="logonForm" type="com.client.form.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.client.action.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" name="simpleForm" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction" parameter="simplePage.jsp"/> </action-mappings> </struts-config> James Childers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Nine times out of ten when I get that message it is one of two things:
- I haven't referenced the bean properly in the tag. This is especially true of anything which references a collection, because that syntax is just off. - I haven't put the bean in the proper scope. Less frequent, but it happens. BTW: Your struts-config and JSP source is coming across as blanks on my mailreader. -= J > -----Original Message----- > From: Art Vandalay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 3:19 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: Re: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null > > > > I'm sorry to bug everyone again with this, but I cannot > figure out what this error message is telling me.
