This particular exception means that Shale could not find a dialog named "Search Contacts" in the set of configured dialogs. (Yes, the error message should actually *say* that ... it will tonight :-). In turn, that implies the dialog configuration file hasn't been loaded. Is this file named "/WEB-INF/dialog-config.xml"? Do you have the Shale filter defined in web.xml? The web site has a useful checklist of stuff to make sure you've set up to use Shale in a webapp: http://struts.apache.org/struts-shale/using.html Craig
