Hi All,
I've been beating my head against this problem for a couple days now and
frankly, I'm stumped...
Using Struts 1.0.2, I'm attempting to display a select box which is filled
with a list of options loaded into the session context. I've verified that
the options are loaded (using an <html:iterate> tag), but for some reason,
the instant I add an <html:form> tag to my .jsp, all hell breaks loose.
The path my application follows is this:
/jsp/index.jsp --> /load.do --> /jsp/edit.jsp
The relevant sections of my struts-config.xml file:
<struts-config>
<!-- ========== Form Bean Definitions ===================================
-->
<form-beans>
<form-bean name="editForm"
type="test.web.editForm" />
</form-beans>
<!-- ========== Action Mapping Definitions ==============================
-->
<action-mappings>
<action path="/load"
type="test.web.LoadAction"
scope="request"
validate="true">
<forward name="continue"
path="/jsp/edit.jsp">
</forward>
</action>
<action path="/edit"
type="test.web.EditAction"
name="editForm"
scope="request"
input="/jsp/edit.jsp"
validate="false">
<forward name="cancel"
path="/jsp/index.jsp">
</forward>
<forward name="continue"
path="/jsp/edit.jsp">
</forward>
</action>
</action-mappings>
</struts-config>
In edit.jsp:
<html:form action="/edit.do">
<html:select property="name">
<html:options collection="<%= Constants.DATA % >" property="label"/>
</html:select>
</html:form>
The error:

I've looked at line 803 of FormTag.lookup and so far as I can tell, the
exception is thrown because the code gets a null from it's call to
FormBeans.findFormBean(String):
// Look up the form bean definition
ActionFormBean formBean =
formBeans.findFormBean(mapping.getName());
if (formBean == null) {
JspException e = new JspException
(messages.getMessage("formTag.formBean",
mapping.getName()));
pageContext.setAttribute(Action.EXCEPTION_KEY, e,
PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE);
throw e;
}
// Calculate the required values
name = mapping.getName(); // <--- Line 803
scope = mapping.getScope();
servlet = mappings.getServlet();
type = formBean.getType();
Any suggestions would be *greatly* appreciated!
Thanks,
Jonathan Kovacs
