Ted, I appologize for my several posts... I was trying to meet a code checking
deadline....
feedback: the links are viewed as <a href> when viewing the html source.
when I enter the link in the address bar a blank page is displayed.
when I enter the desired destination page it is displayed as expected.
when I change the action mapping to forward to the desired jsp, it works fine but I
was wanting to at least hit the action class.
I am using JBuilder 7 and when I run the app locally in debug mode none of the break
points get hit. I am working with Struts 1.1.... when the action mapping refers to the
action class it seems as though it never executes. the struts-config.xml file is
loading it but the class never processes.....

My first suggestion is to be patient. You've posted the same question to
the list three times in the same afternoon. It is not good netiquette.
We all have only so many *volunteer* hours to give, please don't waste
our limited resources.
Second, I'd suggest viewing the HTML source to be sure the link renders
correct.
Third, I would try entering the URI directly,
/yourApp/ReadMessage.do
to see what happens.
You might also try entering
/yourApp/messages/read_message.jsp
to see what happens then.
Fourth, if you are just mapping the page flow, you can also do things like:
<action path="/ReadMessage" forward="/messages/read_message.jsp" />
and keep the Actions out of it until you're ready to add functionality.
Fifth, I'd *strongly* suggest using a modern IDE like Eclipse or
IntelliJ so you can step through the Actions rather than rely on logging
statements. :)
HTH, Ted.
