OK, here is some more info. BTW, I really appreciated the help folks. This problem has cost me days of effort with nothing to show for it. I'm new to struts, and it's not been a pleasant experience so far.
First the questions: Q) Does the problem go away after you access and Action? A) It never gets that far. Q) Please, Send the URL that you send to the server. A) http://localhost:8080/orders/ Q) Try this. <action path="/index" forward="/index.jsp"/> A) I'm not sure I did what you wanted but I added the above line to the struts-config.xml file (see comment below). I then tried to do this: http://localhost:8080/orders/index When I did that, I got an HTTP 404 - /orders/index error saying the requested resource (/orders/index) is not available. Here is some of what is under the C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\orders directory: Company_Logo.gif confirmation.jsp errorpage.jsp footer.jsp header.jsp index.jsp indexContent.jsp ... Now the struts-config.xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.1//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd";> <struts-config> <!-- ============ Data Source =================================== --> <data-sources> <data-source> <set-property property="description" value="Company Orders sample datasource"/> <set-property property="autoCommit" value="false"/> <set-property property="driverClass" value="org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"/> <set-property property="maxCount" value="4"/> <set-property property="password" value=""/> <set-property property="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/orders"/> <set-property property="user" value="darrin"/> </data-source> </data-sources> <!-- ========== Form Bean Definitions =================================== --> <form-beans> <form-bean name="logonForm" type="com.company.product.orders.forms.LogonForm"/> <form-bean name="searchForm" type="com.company.product.orders.forms.SearchForm"/> <form-bean name="insertForm" type="com.company.product.orders.forms.InsertForm"/> </form-beans> <global-exceptions> <exception key="error.required" type="org.apache.struts.util.AppException" path="/appError.jsp"/> </global-exceptions> <!-- ========== Global Forward Definitions ============================== --> <global-forwards> <forward name="logoff" path="/logoff.do"/> <forward name="logon" path="/logon.jsp"/> <forward name="success" path="/mainMenu.jsp"/> <forward name="search" path="/search.jsp"/> <forward name="displayall" path="/displayall.do"/> <forward name="insert" path="/insert.jsp"/> <forward name="review" path="/wizard.jsp"/> <forward name="mainMenu" path="/mainMenu.jsp"/> <forward name="confirmation" path="/confirmation.jsp"/> </global-forwards> <!-- ========== Action Mapping Definitions ============================== --> <action-mappings> <action path="/search" type="com.company.product.orders.actions.SearchAction" name="searchForm" attribute="myForm" scope="request" input="/search.jsp"> <forward name="success" path="/display.jsp"/> </action> <action path="/insert" type="orders.actions.InsertAction" name="insertForm" scope="request" input="/insert.jsp" validate="true"> <exception key="error.required" type="com.company.product.orders.exceptions.MissingValueException" path="/insertError.jsp"/> </action> <action path="/insertDyna" type="com.company.product.orders.actions.InsertAction" name="insertDynaForm" scope="request" input="/insertDyna.jsp" validate="true"> </action> <action path="/forceError" type="com.company.product.orders.actions.ForceErrorAction" scope="request"> </action> <!-- Process a user logoff --> <action path="/logoff" type="com.company.product.orders.actions.LogoffAction"> <forward name="success" path="/index.jsp"/> </action> <!-- Process a user logon --> <action path="/logon" type="com.company.product.orders.actions.LogonAction" name="logonForm" scope="request" input="/logon.jsp"> </action> <!--THIS LINE ADDED AT SUGGESTION OF E-MAIL GROUP --> <action path="/index" forward="/index.jsp"/> <!-- The standard administrative actions available with Struts --> <!-- These need to be either omitted or protected by security BEFORE final deployment--> <action path="/admin/addFormBean" type="org.apache.struts.actions.AddFormBeanAction"/> <action path="/admin/addForward" type="org.apache.struts.actions.AddForwardAction"/> <action path="/admin/addMapping" type="org.apache.struts.actions.AddMappingAction"/> <action path="/admin/reload" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ReloadAction"/> <action path="/admin/removeFormBean" type="org.apache.struts.actions.RemoveFormBeanAction"/> <action path="/admin/removeForward" type="org.apache.struts.actions.RemoveForwardAction"/> <action path="/admin/removeMapping" type="org.apache.struts.actions.RemoveMappingAction"/> </action-mappings> <!-- ========== Message Resources Definitions =========================== --> <message-resources parameter="com.company.product.orders.ApplicationResources"/> </struts-config> -----Original Message----- From: Richard Hightower [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 7:01 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Missing message for key problem. Does the problem go away after you access and Action? Please, Send the URL that you send to the server. Try this. <action path="/index" forward="/index.jsp"/> The above ensures that the resource bundle is intialized before hitting the page for the first time.

Every time I try to access my newly built application, I get: Missing message for key "image.company" javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Missing message for key "image.company" at org.apache.struts.taglib.bean.MessageTag.doStartTag(MessageTag.java:297) at org.apache.jsp.header_jsp._jspx_meth_bean_message_0(header_jsp.java:86) at org.apache.jsp.header_jsp._jspService... I've researched this, posted to the web, and re-checked it a dozen times but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Here is the path the properties file gets placed in after Tomcat expands the war file: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\orders\WEB-INF\classes\com\company\product\orders There, you will find a file named: ApplicationResources.properties (note that the ApplicationResources.properties name was cut/pasted from File Explorer so there is no spelling mistake). In that file you will find the following (again, cut/paste): image.company=Company name In the web.xml file you will find the following (again, cut and paste): <servlet> <servlet-name>orders</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>application</param-name> <param-value>com.company.product.orders.ApplicationResources</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>config</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value> </init-param> And finally, in the header.jsp file that tries to use the key you find this: img src="Company_Logo.gif" align="left" alt="<bean:message key="image.company"/> Note that the header.jsp file is in this directory after Tomcat expands the war file: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\orders I've tried removing the application param from the web.xml file and replacing it in the struts-config.xml file like this: <message-resources parameter="com.company.product.orders.ApplicationResources"/> That didn't help. So what is it that I am doing wrong? Thanks!
