Hi,
In long time back..., it was requried to use those attributes of the
html:form tag.. but i you dont need them now for sure.., i think you book
may be some bit old.
for your second question.., the one you defined in the struts-config.xml..,
that lookuForm name will be used by the framwork to keep the instance of the
ch03.LookupForm in the request, for instance.., and in your action class its
just a variable name that will used inside the action class itself..
hope this would help U.
Regards,
Nuwan

Subject: struts-html question.... puzzling problem...
hi,
I'm following chapter 3 of Wrox Struts book ("Professional Jakarta
Struts") to the letter.. using struts 1.3.5, Tomcat 5.5/1.4... get
TLD-related error on index.jsp (entire zipped-up webapp (small,
virus-free...:) here... www.mayacove.com/java/strutsWrox.zip)
did index.jsp, and the classes, all following instructions in the book,
the classes (LookupForm and LookupAction) compile fine.. put all packages
(.jar's) from Jakarta Struts download where they belong (WEB-INF/lib..)
in index.jsp is this tag:
<html:form action="Lookup" name="lookupForm" type="ch03.LookupForm">
I looked in struts-html.tld itself, one thing I note is that under "form"
tag there are no attributes defined for either "name" or "type", only for
"action" (which can also be seen here,
http://struts.apache.org/1.3.5/struts-taglib/tlddoc/html/tld-summary.html)
so am a bit puzzled here....
one thing I also noted is that JSP servlet for index.jsp is non-existent
(when look in tomcat/work/.... don't see either index_jsp.java or
index_jsp.class..) i.e., JSP for some reason is not even being read by
container..)
I have in struts-config.xml:
<form-beans>
<form-bean name="lookupForm" type="ch03.LookupForm" />
</form-beans>
<action path="/Lookup" type="ch03.LookupAction"
name="lookupForm">....</action>
in LookupAction.java:
LookupForm lookupForm = (LookupForm)form;
(this is confusing: so lookupForm is name of form but also an
instantiation of the other class in the package...(??)
would much appreciate some help.. thank you..
(posted a question on Wrox's website relevant forum about two days ago
but have gotten no response..)
thank you very much.........
