Index.jsp has a <logic:redirect forward="login"/>
Login.jsp has a form: <html:form action="/loginAction" onsubmit="return
validateLoginForm(this);">
LoginForm.java inherits from AbstractForm.java which in turn inherits from
ValidatorForm
Something is clearly not initializing, my debugger on the ide never makes it
to any of the classes so it’s impossible to work out the cause
