>Bells started going off... have you tried reverting back to the standard ActionSerlvet and see if it works? >If all you want to do is check that users are logged in, it's better to do it as either a Filter, or as a base action ( I >typically call mine BaseLoginRequiredAction ) rather then monkey around with the action servlet... No, changing it back to just running through the standard servlet didn't do anything. I think the problem is more likely to be that for some reason, my server name is not getting inserted at the beginning of the call to the action, and that the action is being called in all lowercase characters - so for example I'm calling http://newprojectid.do instead of http://localhost:8080/NewProjectID.do but I have no idea what could be causing this - I just can't see any difference between the files that work and the ones that don't. Claire ------------------------------------------- Thanks for your help, Hubert > Maybe you can provide a more detailed picture of what's happening. I'll certainly try! > -> What's your context path? I'm not sure...is this my listing in the Tomcat server.xml file? If so, it is: <Context path="/" reloadable="true" docBase="C:\Program Files\eclipse\workspace\GeoViz_Server" workDir="C:\Program Files\eclipse\workspace\GeoViz_Server\work" /> > -> What URL does your browser show when you're on the form that doesn't > submit, just before you submit it? http://localhost:8080/NewProjectStart.do > -> What URL is shown right after you submit? http://newprojectid.do - after trying it again here, that's actually the first time I've been able to catch that! Interesting...why is it missing out my server...and why is it all in lowercase? I haven't changed any of the defaults in my server.xml file. > -> How is your ActionServlet declared and mapped in your web.xml? My Action Servlet is mapped as: <servlet> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <servlet-class>com.GeoViz.util.ExtendedActionServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>config</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> Where all the ExtendedActionServlet class does is check that the user is logged in. When the html:form tag has been expanded with "//" at the beginning, my breakpoint in this class is never hit - it doesn't even get to this point. > -> What version of Struts are you using?

For example - on the page before the one that fails, I do have some form fields that a pre-populated, and that data is shown correctly. thanks, Claire > > --- Claire Suttle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yeah, I've actually already tried adding the slash into the html:form tag. > > It doesn't actually make any difference.
