using LookupDispatchAction

["Dean A. Hoover" <dh...@rochester.rr.com>]

Anybody jump in and say if there's a better way to
do this...

I am attempting to create a simple multistep application
for gathering registration information. Each page will be
validated using the Validator framework. I stumbled across
the LookupDispatchAction and thought it might be useful
for what I am trying to do. I am getting an exception:

javax.servlet.ServletException: DispatchMapping[/RegisterLogonInfo] does not define a handler property
	org.apache.struts.actions.LookupDispatchAction.execute(LookupDispatchAction.java:191)
	org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processActionPerform(RequestProcessor.java:484)
	org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process(RequestProcessor.java:274)
	org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1482)
	org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doPost(ActionServlet.java:525)
	javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:763)
	javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:856)

Here's the relevant parts of struts-config.xml:
[snip]
    <form-bean name="registerLogonInfo"
               type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
      <form-property name="logonIdWidgetsSubFormId" type="java.lang.String"/>
      <form-property name="passwordWidgetsSubFormPassword1"
                     type="java.lang.String"/>
      <form-property name="passwordWidgetsSubFormPassword2"
                     type="java.lang.String"/>
    </form-bean>
[snip]

    <action path="/go4it"
            type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
            name="registerLogonInfo"
            scope="session"
            input="tiles.registerLogonInfo"
            parameter="tiles.registerLogonInfo"/>
    />

    <action path="/RegisterLogonInfo"
            type="fi.els.action.WizardAction"
            name="registerLogonInfo"
            validate="true"
            input="tiles.registerLogonInfo">
      <forward name="previous" path="/previous.html"/>
      <forward name="next" path="/next.html"/>
    </action>


The WizardAction class follows:

package fi.els.action;

import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import org.apache.struts.action.*;
import org.apache.struts.actions.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.util.*;

public class WizardAction extends LookupDispatchAction
{
    public ActionForward next
    (
      ActionMapping mapping,
      ActionForm form,
      HttpServletRequest request
    )
    {
        return mapping.findForward("next");
    }

    public ActionForward previous
    (
      ActionMapping mapping,
      ActionForm form,
      HttpServletRequest request
    )
    {
        return mapping.findForward("previous");
    }

    public ActionForward finish
    (
      ActionMapping mapping,
      ActionForm form,
      HttpServletRequest request
    )
    {
        return mapping.findForward("finish");
    }

    protected Map getKeyMethodMap()
    {
        Map keyMethodMap = new HashMap();
        keyMethodMap.put("button.previous", "previous");
        keyMethodMap.put("button.next", "next");
        keyMethodMap.put("button.finish", "finish");
        return keyMethodMap;
    }
}


Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Is there a better way to do this?
