Help with Exception
Sorry about not cuttng out the previous messages, but the
discussion is sort-of relevant to what I'm having problems with.
I'm getting
javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot find ActionMappings or ActionFormBeans collection
I can run the example, and I can run a test page with nothing but
a few tags (eg: <html:html>) but no forms/beans/etc. And I get the
above error. I've checked struts-config.xml.
I can only think I've missed something.
<!-- ========== Form Bean Definitions =================================== -->
<form-beans>
<!-- Logon form bean -->
<form-bean name="logonForm"
type="au.com.cyberlancers.share.forms.LogonForm"/>
</form-beans>
<!-- ========== Action Mapping Definitions ============================== -->
<action-mappings>
<!-- Logon action -->
<action path="/logon"
type="au.com.cyberlancers.share.actions.LogonAction"
name="logonForm"
scope="request"
validate="false">
<forward name="false" path="/index.jsp"/>
</action>
and the jsp file (which is an include) has:
<html:form action="/logon.do" focus="username">
<bean:message key="prompt.username"/>
<html:text property="username" size="16" maxlength="16"/><br>
<bean:message key="prompt.password"/>
<html:password property="password" size="16" maxlength="16"/><br>
<html:hidden property="type" value="employee"/>
<html:submit property="submit" value="prompt.submit"/>
<html:reset/>
</html:form>

Hi,
Try to take all original *.xml files and ADD your new stuff, do not remove anything. Check if you have
struts.jar file under .../tomcat/webapps/your_new_app/WEB-INF/lib directory and struts*.tld files under
this WEB-INF.

Yes, sorry. I'm using Tomcat 3.2.1 on Solaris, with J2SE 1.3. I have load-on-startup
set to 1 (and my database container set to 2). I get an odd error when Tomcat starts
in that it says (and this is from memory, don't have the extact message here) it
can't load servlet: action. Now I assume this is the action servlet that is the
struts one in the web.xml. But, it was a cut and paste job with modifications
from the example web.xml, so I'd expect it to work. The servlet mapping seems
correct.

Have you configured the controller servlet to be <load-on-startup>? If you do not do this, none of
the servlet context attributes created by the controller servlet (including the two mentioned in the
exception) will have been created if the first request you submit is to a JSP page.
If that's not the issue, what servlet container are you running on. Some have problems with
load-on-startup -- check the installation documentation for platform specific details.
