Struts Link Tool

[Robin Mannering <Ro...@promap.co.uk>]

Hi all,

having a curious problem with the StrutsLinkTool.

Using <a href="$link.setForward("putObjectInSession")">Put Object In Session</a>

I get an error returned as at the end of this email.

However, I used the JSP equivalent for sanity purposes and it works just fine.

<html:link forward="putObjectInSession">putObjectInSession</html:link>

Does anyone have any ideas?  Many thanks in advance..

Robin

Error is:
