Re: Help! Can't access ActionForm properties in Action perform( )!

[Martin Cooper <ma...@tumbleweed.com>]

It sounds like maybe you don't have the form bean set up correctly in your
struts-config.xml. You should make sure that (a) your action mapping has a
"name=" entry, and (b) there is a form bean definition for that name which
specifies the appropriate form bean type.

Hope this helps.
