Your AddToCartAction class does not appear to be a public class. Have you tried making the class public?

I've already checked the archive but found nothing relevant. I get the following error whenever I run the following action: No action instance for path /addToCart could be created The other actions are found, just not this one. Here's the relevant parts of my struts-config.xml: <struts-config> <!-- ========== Global Forward Definitions ============================== --> <global-forwards> <forward name="error" path="/error.jsp"/> <forward name="welcome" path="/do/welcome"/> </global-forwards> <!-- ========== Action Mapping Definitions ============================== --> <action-mappings> <action path="/addToCart" type="y21.isac.struts.action.AddToCartAction"> <forward name="success" path="/confirmAddToCart.jsp"/> </action> <action path="/welcome" type="y21.isac.struts.action.WelcomeAction" name="" scope="request" input=""> <forward name="success" path="/welcome.jsp"/> </action> <!-- Test Actions --> <action path="/testStart" type="y21.isac.struts.action.IsacTestStartAction"> <forward name="success" path="/do/welcome"/> <forward name="AddToCartAction" path="/do/addToCart"/> </action> </action-mappings> </struts-config> I have tried /addToCart both with and without an ActionForm just to see if it made any difference, but it didn't. Wanting to make sure whether or not the ActionServlet was finding AddToCartAction, I added the following snippet to IsacTestStartAction (which is where I'm calling /addToCart from): try { Class.forName("y21.isac.struts.action.AddToCartAction", true, this.getClass().getClassLoader()); System.err.println("ISAC Test Message: AddToCartAction Found"); } catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); System.err.println("ISAC Test Message: AddToCartAction NOT Found"); } The AddToCartAction class is reported as found (removing the class file gave me the expected "NOT Found"). However if I change the Class.forName line to read: Class.forName("y21.isac.struts.action.AddToCartAction", true, request.getClass().getClassLoader()); I get a ClassNotFoundException and the "NOT Found" message. The class files are where they should be however. What I can't understand is how WelcomeAction and IsacTestStartAction can be found, but AddToCart isn't. I've stripped the code from AddToCartAction down to the point where all it does is return the ActionForward. Here are the calls to the action from my jsp: <html:link page="/do/testStart?testLevel=oo&test=AddToCartAction">Add To Cart Action Test</html:link> <html:link page="/do/addToCart">Add To Cart Action Direct</html:link> Does anyone have any ideas? Here is the code for IsacTestStartAction and AddToCartAction for reference. Thanks in advance.
