OK, I found a solution. Maybe some of you can shed some light on why this works.
In my second <html:form>, I simply included type="com.class.name" to signify the class that should be instantiated in the event that it doesn't locate one. However, Doesn't the ActionServlet look at the ActionMappings to determine what Form to instantiate? I know it does for the first form in my JSP and for any other single-formed JSP. Could this be a bug? In any case, much thanks to Steve for your help. Thanks! Aaron. -----Original Message----- From: STEVE WILKINSON [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 7:23 AM To: Struts user Subject: Re: Multiple Forms on one JSP... Sounds like you need some debugging of you code. Hum, I don't see enough posted here to help. Normally, one would post more code or look at the code sample that was offered to compare and see what's wrong. I don't think I can help anymore. What I was trying to say with my prior posts is that it is possible. Obviously, this is not the help you need. There are other things to look at, but it appears that my help is not wanted or needed. If you want to post more information maybe you can entice others to look with your charming responses. Good luck debugging your code. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rustad, Aaron Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 8:22 PM To: 'Struts user ' Subject: RE: Multiple Forms on one JSP... Alright, this is not what I want. I have ONE JSP, it contains TWO forms, each form goes to a separate action. However, when the JSP is rendered, the first form's FormBean is placed in the session, but the second form(same JSP) throws a JSPException indicating that it cannot find a bean under that name. I am sure that you should be able to have TWO forms, referencing two different actions, using TWO different formBean. Any suggestions? AR. -----Original Message----- From: STEVE WILKINSON To: Struts user Sent: 2/6/02 4:39 PM Subject: Re: Multiple Forms on one JSP... I know that works also. It was not clear to me in your email that the example had to be specific to two different actions. Anywho... here is what you were talking about. Right from my example code. Free of charge, both the advice and the code. :-) --- snip: shoppingcart.jsp --- <html:form action="/order.do"> <html:hidden property="action" value="createOrder" /> <html:submit> <bean:message key="button.createOrder"/> </html:submit> </html:form> --- snip: shoppingcart.jsp --- Note, I have different submit buttons on my page. --- snip: struts-config.xml --- <!-- Process order request --> <action path="/order" type="com.wrox.pjsp2.struts.order.OrderAction" name="orderForm" scope="session" validate="false" input="/order.jsp"> <forward name="success" path="/order.jsp"/> <forward name="thankyou" path="/thankyou.jsp"/> </action> --- snip: struts-config.xml --- So like I said if you look at my example you can see that I also go to two different Actions from the same JSP page. Yes, I use the same form bean, but that should not matter. I believe that you could use different form beans, but I haven't checked it out yet. Note, the reason for providing the example code at http://www.newparticles.com/struts was to go beyond the basic struts example and to provide what I learned back to the community. Please download the example application. I get no extra money for it. It's there as a resource to learn from. I've updated the code to work off CVS, but it's not been posted to the web site yet.

Yes, I know that would work. However, I want BOTH on the same JSP, at the same time. I don't want one action that decides what to do. I want each form in the One JSP to submit to a different action. Thanks for your help though. -----Original Message----- From: STEVE WILKINSON [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 2:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Multiple Forms on one JSP... I use multiple forms successfully in my sample application that I did in the Wrox Pro JSP 2nd Edition book. There is one per entry in the HTML table. --- snip: from showshoppingcart.jsp ---- <html:form action="/checkout.do"> <html:hidden property="action" value="update" /> <html:hidden property="<%= Constants.TITLE_ID %>" value="<%= String.valueOf(titleId) %>" /> <table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0"> <tr> <td> <bean:define id="quantity" name="cartItem" property="quantity"/> <html:text property="quantity" value="<%= String.valueOf(quantity) %>" size="5" maxlength="5"/> </td> <td> <html:submit> <bean:message key="button.update"/> </html:submit> </td> </tr> </table> </html:form> --- snip: from showshoppingcart.jsp ---- I iterate over a collection of items in the shopping cart and display the table. NOTE, each form has it's own submit button and that I use a hidden variable to tell which form was submitted. Here is the struts-config.xml file entry: --- snip: from struts-config.xml file ---- <!-- Process checkout request --> <action path="/checkout" type="com.wrox.pjsp2.struts.shopping.CheckoutAction" name="checkoutForm" scope="request" validate="false"> <forward name="success" path="/shoppingcart.jsp"/> </action> --- snip: from struts-config.xml file ---- Hopes this helps... Source code from my chapter example can be downloaded from: http://www.newparticles.com/struts There is a new version being placed on the site that is based on the CVS snapshot from December. It's in the read me. I will be updating this in the next month or so to be current with CVS.
