Perform() of action class is not called

[Rajat Nayer <ra...@yahoo.com>]

Hi!!! 
I am trying to invoke an EJB from the Action class
thru the perform() method. However, the perform method
is not called - the println's do not show up on the
server console nor is any error thrown. 

---------<<<<!-- ========== Form Bean Definitions
================= --> 
  <form-beans> 

    <form-bean name="submitForm" 
                   
type="hansen.playground.SubmitForm"/> 

  </form-beans> 

  <!-- ========== Action Mapping Definitions
============ --> 
  <action-mappings> 

    <action path="/submit" 
              type="hansen.playground.SubmitAction" 
              name="submitForm" 
              input="/submit.jsp" 
              scope="request"> 
    <forward name="success" path="/submit.jsp"/> 
    <forward name="failure" path="/submit.jsp"/> 
    </action> 

  </action-mappings> 

----------------------------------- 


-------<<<Action class's perform method>>>------- 
 public ActionForward perform(ActionMapping mapping, 
      ActionForm form, 
      HttpServletRequest request, 
      HttpServletResponse response)throws IOException,
ServletException { 
System.out.println("perform called !!!"); 
    SubmitForm f = (SubmitForm) form; // get the form
bean 
    // and take the last name value 
    String lastName = f.getLastName(); 
    // Translate the name to upper case 
    //and save it in the request object 
    request.setAttribute("lastName",
lastName.toUpperCase()); 
     
/***** Calling EJB ***************************/ 

String op=""; 
  try { 
System.out.println("getting initial context"); 
    Context ctx = getInitialContext(); 
System.out.println("initial context got !!"); 
    DemoHome home = (DemoHome) ctx.lookup("Demo"); 
System.out.println("home got !!"); 
Demo ac = null; 
    try { 
      ac = (Demo) home.create(); 
System.out.println("create called!!"); 
if (ac==null) 
System.out.println("ac is null!"); 
    } 
    catch (Exception ee) { 
System.out.print("exception 1"); 
    } 
System.out.println("going to call method!"); 
if (ac!= null) 
op = ac.demoSelect(); 
else 
System.out.println("ac is null->error!!"); 
//out.println(ac.demoSelect()); 
//out.println("string got!!"); 
System.out.println("String="+op); 
    } 
    catch (Exception e) { 
       
e.printStackTrace(); 
System.out.println("error 2"); 
    } 
   /*********************************************/ 
    // Forward control to the specified success target

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

What is wrong???
