Hi there Tiff,
I'll prefix my recommendations by saying I am far from an expert with the
struts framework, but I have managed to get a simple app up and working, so
hopefully I can help you out a bit.
I think the problem may be that you have not defined any actions for your
application (I could be wrong, but hey it's worth a try).
What I suggest you do is add a "<html:form" command to your jsp, and a
couple of fields "<html:text" command.
Make sure you put a <html:reset/> in your jsp as well to ensure the form
bean get's initialised.
If you have no joy, I'll email my simple app that I setup which consisted
of 2 jsps, 2 form beans, and 1 action.
If you really want to get what you have currently to work, post the contents
of your struts-config.xml file.
Cheers
Tim

Subject: newbie question (again)
Hello,
I got the struts-example working and have begun trying to implement a small
test app using struts, but have run into a problem. Below is the exception
I'm receiving ...

>From searching the mailing list, I think it is due to not finding the
ApplicationResources.properties file. Below are the reasons that I found
(from the struts-user mailng list) which could cause the problem ...
- Not having the <param-name>application</param-name> element in the web.xml
file.
- Miss typing the path for <param-name>application</param-name>'s value. Or
not placing the ApplicationResources.properties file in the correct
directory.
- Not having the <load-on-startup> element in the web.xml file.
- Having struts.jar in my CLASSPATH.
>From what I can tell, I don't have any of the above problems. But I'm
gonna
include everything for review so some new/more experienced eyes can look at
it.
