RetrieveFormBean mentioned in the "name" attribute is not a class
name, it is the name of an ActionForm instance. Have you defined it in
<form-beans> section?

By the way, LookupDispatchAction is not the best choice to dispatch
events. I suggest you to use this one:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=17724 You will
also need ActionDispatcher class from Struts 1.2.7+ distro.
