OKAY
I have a dir structure as follows

C:\java\jakarta-tomcat-3.3.1\webapps\strutsShop\CreateBook.jsp
C:\java\jakarta-tomcat-3.3.1\webapps\strutsShop\WEB-INF\classes\Book.java
C:\java\jakarta-tomcat-3.3.1\webapps\strutsShop\WEB-INF\classes\BookActoin.java
Code for BookView.jsp is:
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>
<html:html locale="true">

<title>
<bean:message key="index.title"/>
</title>
</head>
<body>Angela's test page</body>
<html:form action="createBook" method="GET">
Title:<html:text property="title" /> <br/>
<html:submit property="submit"/>
</html:form>
</html:html>
Code for CreateBook.jsp is:
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>

<body bgcolor="white">

<html:form action="createBook.do" method="GET">

<html:submit property="submit"/>
</html:form>
</body>
</html:html>
IN C:\java\jakarta-tomcat-3.3.1\webapps\strutsShop\WEB-INF\classes
I have Book.java (compiles into class file fine)
Code is :
import java.util.Vector;
public class Book
{
private String title = "";
private Vector authors = new Vector();
private int pages = 0;
/** Standard constructor. */
public Book()
{ }
/** @param title The new Title */
public void setTitle(String title)
{ this.title = title; }
/** @return The title. */
public String getTitle()
{ return this.title; }
/** @param pages The new number of pages. */
public void setPages(int pages)
{ this.pages = pages; }
/** @return The number of pages. */
public int getPages()
{ return this.pages; }
/**
We don't want to work with the Vector here, as it is
only a reference we would get!
@param author Add another author
*/
public void addAuthor(String author)
{ this.authors.add(author); }
/**
Pay attention not to use the wrong number.
@param position The number of the author to remove.
*/
public void removeAuthor(int position)
{ this.authors.remove(position); }
/** @return The number of authors the book has. */
public int getNumberOfAuthors()
{ return this.authors.size(); }
}
Code for BookAction.java is:
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import org.apache.struts.action.*;
/*
The action for the creation of a book.
@author [EMAIL PROTECTED]
*/
public final class BookAction extends Action
{
/**
@param mapping The ActionMapping used to select this instance
@param form The optional ActionForm bean for this request (if any)
@param req The non-HTTP request we are processing
@param res The non-HTTP response we are creating
@return Return an ActionForward instance describing where and how
control should be forwarded, or null if the response has
already
been completed.
*/
public ActionForward perform(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest req,
HttpServletResponse res)
{
System.out.println("Start perform(" + form + ") . . ." );
String title = req.getParameter("title");
Book book = new Book();
book.setTitle( title );
System.out.println("After creation of book: " + book.getTitle()
);
req.setAttribute("BOOK", book);
return mapping.findForward("bookCreated");
}
}
When I try to compile BookAction.java I get my error
>BookAction.java:27: cannot resolve symbol
>symbol : class Book
>location : class BookAction
> Book book = new Book();
The problem seems to be that BookAction.java cant find struts.jar that I
have saved locally in my classes directory...
I have saved this path into my CLASSPATH variable but to no avail...
