Re: Google and Struts
Google certainly crawls my site, which uses .do actions, and does a pretty good job; I get a number of visitors referred straight into the .do pages (which are all eg showTopic.do?topic=nn) from Google searches. On the other hand, I don't do URL rewriting, so don't have the jsessionid thingies. I took the decision not to do URL rewriting because - I don't need to track sessions - the jsessionid thingies screwed up the crawler from Atomz, which I use to provide site searching. HTH.

Are you sure you are actually calling the validate() method? Either
validate="true" in the action definition or call the validate()
method explicitly in the execute() method of the action as follows:
errors = myForm.validate(mapping, request);
// see if we found any validation errors
if ( ! errors.isEmpty()) {
saveErrors(request, errors);
return (new ActionForward(mapping.getInput()));
} // end of if ()

Logging to application directory
Is there any easy way of sending logs to somewhere in my application directory, rather than eg Tomcat/logs? The latter is OK when I'm developing the application on my own machine, but when I deploy onto my shared host I don't have access to the Tomcat logs directory. And however carefully I test on my own machine, I can't reproduce the environment exactly and there's always something that goes wrong. I have totally failed to get to grips with logging so far, so any help will be appreciated.

Thanks. It looks like we are converging on an answer. I am calling the jsp direct. From what you say it looks as if I should go via an action. What should that action do, or what should its mapping contain, to make things work? -- Louise Pryor http://www.louisepryor.com - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

DynaActionForms and html:text tags
I'm having problems getting a DynaActionForm to work with a jsp page, and wondered if anyone could help. I've defined all the properties in the DynaActionForm using tags. They all have type java.lang.String. The form is mapped to the Action in the usual way. Actual extracts from the files at the end of this message. I have a jsp page with an html:form tag that refers to the action. The trouble is, that none of the html:text tags work (they refer to properties as defined in the form). The symptom of the not working is org.apache.jasper.JasperException: No getter method for property of bean org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN An html:hidden tag and an html:password tag on the same form work fine. Could this be something to do with the fact that the hidden tag has a value set, and the password tag has redisplay="false", so that neither of them are looking in the form bean for values? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
