This is irrelevant. Right now you have no idea if any part of your JSP actually executes, or if the bug occurs before it's service method is even called. Putting logging statements there will enable you to determine that. You can also put a scriplet in to grab your form directly from the request to see if it's actually there, etc. If it's not there, that means there's either something wrong with your struts-config (like maybe the form-bean element is missing, so struts doesn't know what form bean class to instantiate), struts couldn't find the form class (though that should throw a different exception), or you are hitting the JSP directly without going through a struts-mapped url. hope this helps, Joe > Joe Barefoot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Is your form > bean class actually named: "com.client.form.simpleForm" ? > > or is supposed to have a capital 'S': "com.client.form.SimpleForm" ? > > Have you tried putting any logging statements into the > simplePage.jsp (just sys-outs would work)?
