Hehe, I could never hope to compete with the excellent books already out there: "Sruts In Action" (No the title is not a dig at how long it took to release 1.1 ;-> ) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1930110502/ref=pd_sim_books_1/ 104-3048226-9331911?v=glance&s=books "Programming Jakarta Struts" http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0596003285/104-3048226-9331911 ?vi=glance "Struts Kickstart" http://www.bookpool.com/.x/z5tt7pe7ii/sm/0672324725 (Not on Amazon would you believe!) And essential reading if your new to web application programming (or even if your not): "Java Servlet Programming" http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/156592391X/104-3048226-9331911 ?vi=glance -----Original Message----- From: Mark Lowe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 23 July 2003 17:24 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: NullPointer exception I had to use the scope attribute on the action tag in struts-config.xml Which i thought would only be to scope the form bean, defined by the name attribute but it would appear not. Btw, thanks for the "best practice" tip.. When's the book comming out ;) Cheers Mark On Wednesday, July 23, 2003, at 09:55 AM, Andrew Hill wrote: > <snip> > Now there appears to be something setting the request to > null between actions, I just have no idea what. > </snip> > > Well of course the request attributes are null (i presume its the > request > attribute thats null and not the request reference itself!) in the > second > action.
