Hello Bill, I checked everything again, and still do not see anything obvious. What did you mean by a debugger? Do you know of one for Tomcat and checking this type of problem?
If so, please let me know. Thanks, Scott -----Original Message----- From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bill Siggelkow Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 12:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Newbie With Question Scott, this problem can happen when you are trying to forward to a non-existent location. For example, you would see this problem if the path specified in the <forward name="success" path="/submit.jsp"/> was invalid. However, looking at your struts-config.xml I do not see any errors. I would first check that your Struts config is not throwing any errors when it is read in (check the Tomcat console for this). Then, I would get out the debugger. (P.S. Just a matter of style here -- by convention, package names typically use the reverse of your company's web address; so your action's fully-qualified name would be something like 'com.vertisinc.SubmitAction') -Bill Siggelkow Scott Purcell wrote: > Hello, > > I am just getting underway with struts and found an example here: > http://javaboutique.internet.com/tutorials/Struts/ > > I have completely followed the directions and I can get the initial form to > display the data that comes from the ActionForm bean.
