Basic Action Question (I need more sets of eyes)

Hi

 

I've been staring at this for a while and I can't see what's wrong. Maybe
one of you can help me out. I'm trying to create a basic login form. 

 

The form validation part is working (comes back and tells me that uid or pw
has to be entered if I neglected to) but it SEEMS that the
LoginAction.execute() is not getting called. 

 

When I click "login" with username and password filled out, I get sent to a
blank screen with minimal html.

 

Help!!!! Could it be a problem with my deployment? Am I missing something
else? Note that I do in fact have "success.jsp" and "error.jsp" in a
subdirectory "/pages"

 

Here are the parts that seem to not be working.

 

This should be a really simple thing, no? I'd even send my WAR file to get
some help at this point..

 

// ***** Action Class ****

package com.blah.login;

 

import javax.servlet.http.*;

import org.apache.struts.action.*;

 

public final class LoginAction extends Action

{

            public ActionForward perform(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm
form,

                                    HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response){

                        System.out.println("Text that is never seen");

                        LoginForm f = (LoginForm) form;

                        String userName=f.getUserName();

                        String password = f.getPassword();

                        

                        // Will implement real PW checking when this is
working :-(

                        if(userName.equals("admin") &&
password.equals("admin123")){

                            return (mapping.findForward("success"));

                        }else{

                            return (mapping.findForward("failure"));

                        }

            }

}
