First off, as I am learning Struts I just wanted to thank those, for bearing with my learning curve and helping out so far. Here is the issue: I want to pass all my forms, even forms without params to the com.skp.action.LoginAction action class, because this class handles the "isLoggedIn" issue through a subclass of Action. Anyway, I have a jsp page that has no params, so I have no bean to collect user data, so I configured my action like so: <action path="/mainAdmin" type="com.skp.action.LoginAction" > <forward name="Success" path="/jsp/admin/main.jsp" redirect="true"/> </action> Anyway, I just want to always use the LoginAction as a "Front Controller" to my web app, and catch the status of "logged-in" etc. This works well, but I have to use conventional <html> code and not the html:form tag: works: <!-- <form name="foo" action="/uniquepear/action/mainAdmin" method="POST"> --> does not work: <html:form action="mainAdmin"> When I use the above I get this error in the browser: javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null at org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.handlePageException(PageContextImpl.java:495) at org.apache.jsp.main_jsp._jspService(main_jsp.java:175)
But I have no reason to have a bean for this action. How does one handle this problem? Thanks Scott
