You probably need to set aside an hour and take a gander at the user guide: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/doc-1.0.2/userGuide/index.html
You need to understand why you put these lines in your web.xml file: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> In an MVC application, all requests go through a controller. Struts utilizes the <url-pattern> as the way to direct requests to its controller, ActionServlet. That means you invoke your actions by appending '.do' to your action paths, like so: http://yourhost/yourapp/logon.do Good luck. -- Jim Jose Casas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > What do you mean by invoking the ActionServlet?
