Strut by Strut Example by Ted Husted

[Nathan Anderson <na...@sum-ware.com>]

I am trying to learn Struts, and I am impressed by the collection of
material on www.husted.com.  I have been able to successfully install and
run the tutorial from www.jspinsider.com, but the Strut by Strut example
doesn't seem to work.  Here is the system I'm running Struts on:

Windows 2000 [sp2]
Tomcat 3.2.3
Struts 1.0
JCreator v2.0 is my IDE [basically a highlighting text editor].

Here is what happens.  I have downloaded and installed the struts-stub.war,
then started up Tomcat.  When I point my browser to
http://localhost:8080/struts-stub/ I properly get directed to
http://localhost:8080/struts-stub/index.jsp.  The page displays, but when I
click on the "Enter" button nothing happens.  A snippet of the HTML source
follows.

Thanks for any help in this matter.
