Here is what I see (opinions vary)... I see you are defining your form bean in your struts-config.xml as type 'org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm'. So, why are you trying to cast it as this 'org.apache.artimus.message.PostForm' class. Does that class extend DynaValidatorForm? If it doesn't, you'll get a ClassCastException like you're getting now. Personally, I expected you to cast it as:
DynaValidatorForm postForm = (DynaValidatorForm) form; Or us it as-initially defined (not casting like above) and use BeanUtils such as: String receiver = (String) PropertyUtils.getSimpleProperty(form, "receiver"); Regards, David -----Original Message----- From: Caroline Jen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 03, 2004 11:04 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Please Help - ClassCastException Thank you for trying to help. I have added import org.apache.artimus.message.PostForm; to my action class. I do not fully follow what I should check in the struts-config.xml file. And should I use name="postForm" with lowercase 'p' or uppercase 'P'? In my struts-config.xml file, I have: <form-bean name="postForm" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm"> <form-property name="receiver" type="java.lang.String"/> <form-property name="sender" type="java.lang.String"/> <form-property name="title" type="java.lang.String"/> <form-property name="postTopic" type="java.lang.String"/> <form-property name="postBody" type="java.lang.String"/> </form-bean> and <action roles="administrator,editor,contributor" path="/message/NewTopic" type="org.apache.artimus.message.StoreMessage" name="postForm" scope="request" validate="true" input=".message.Form"> <forward name="success" path=".article.View"/> </action> Do you see any problems? --- Pedro Salgado <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On your struts config file check if the form bean > for StoreMessage action > is of type pkg.pkg.PostForm and if the action name > is pointing to the > correct form bean...
