BTW, to debug have you tried to do mapping.findForward("success") and mapping.findForward("fail") to see what happends?

Not that it is the solution but could you do <forward name="logon" path="/pages/Logon.jsp" /> ? Only because Logon.do is a forward (action anyway). 2. Again, probably not necessary but add method="post" to the form tag. 3. I doubt it is a problem but I am so used to seeing the action attributes on the same line you could move all the attributes like name="logonForm" onto their own line. You just never know when things should work and aren't. You already verified that LogonSuccess.jsp exists and isn't blank. I agree though with the post about verifying that the constant is the right value. I have seen the blank page problem when I changed the name of my forward in the struts config and didn't rename it in my action. There is no null pointer exceptions or other exceptions being thrown in your container output window? I have exhausted everything I could think of for now. -----Original Message----- From: todd thorner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 4:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Repost: Clicking "Submit" returns a blank page I have reached this far in my debut logon page development... The first JSP page comes up fine, showing me a form <html:form action="/LogonSubmit"> with a rendered <html:text> tag for each required field (username and password), plus a "Reset" and a "Submit" button. Code sample below comes from my struts-config.xml file: <form-beans> <form-bean name="logonForm" type="mystrutsforms.LogonForm"/> </form-beans> <global-forwards> <forward name="logon" path="/Logon.do"/> </global-forward> <action-mappings> <action path="/Logon" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction" parameter="/pages/Logon.jsp"/> <action path="/LogonSubmit" type="mystrutsactions.LogonAction" name="logonForm" scope="request" validate="true" input="/pages/Logon.jsp"> <forward name="success" path="/pages/LogonSuccess.jsp"/> <forward name="fail" path="/pages/LogonFail.jsp"/> </action> </action-mappings> ****************** struts-config.xml code above ****************** I can enter data into the <html:text> fields and they will erase if I click "Reset" I can click "Submit" with nothing filled in (passing nulls with the request), and the proper <html:errors/> are displayed. However... If I enter any values for the "username" and "password" fields, then click "Submit," a blank page is always returned (neither "LogonSuccess.jsp" nor "LogonFail.jsp" are blank). What's up with that? The browser says it's trying to display results from "LogonSubmit.do" (which is what I expect). I have a file called "users.properties" in the directory "WEB-INF/classes" and in my LogonAction.java code: public final class LogonAction extends Action { public ActionForward execute( ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response ) throws Exception { String username = ( ( LogonForm ) form ).getUsername(); String password = ( ( LogonForm ) form ).getPassword(); boolean validated = false; try { validated = isUserLoggedOn( username, password ); } catch ( SimpleUserDirectoryException sudexc ) { ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors(); errors.add( ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, new ActionError( "error.logon.connect" ) ); saveErrors( request, errors ); return ( new ActionForward( mapping.getInput() ) ); } if ( !validated ) { ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors(); errors.add( ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, new ActionError( "error.logon.invalid" ) ); saveErrors( request, errors ); return ( new ActionForward( mapping.getInput() ) ); } HttpSession session = request.getSession(); session.setAttribute( Constants.USER_KEY, form ); return ( mapping.findForward( Constants.SUCCESS ) ); } public boolean isUserLoggedOn( String username, String password ) throws SimpleUserDirectoryException { return ( SimpleUserDirectory.getInstance().passwordIsValid( username, password ) ); } } ****************** mystrutsactions.LogonAction.java code above ****************** Note: The LogonAction.java file above makes use of the following SimpleUserDirectory.java code: private static final String SimpleUserDirectoryFilepath = "users.properties"; InputStream ips = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream( SimpleUserDirectoryFilepath ); ****************** mystrutsforms.LogonForm.java code above ****************** Also, my web.xml file has: <init-param> <param-name>application</param-name> <param-value>application</param-value> </init-param> ****************** web.xml code above ****************** Any suggestions or guesses are appreciated. ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
