Hi Danny, Checking the code for FormTag.getActionMappingName() it takes everything from the last / in the name, strips off any paramters (?....), then anything after the last . (eg. .do) So, to the form tag at least, /edit, /edit.do and /edit.do?action=goInsane are all equivalent.
On the bright side, I did find my problem. It was a pretty newbie error...which makes sense since I'm pretty newbie to struts. My mistake was in trying to bypass the Controller...(Bad programmer! Never sidestep the architecture...unless you REALLY mean it! ;) The path I gave earlier: /jsp/index.jsp --> /load.do --> /jsp/edit.jsp What it SHOULD have been: /jsp/index.jsp --> /load.do --> /edit.do --> /jsp/edit.jsp This allows the controller to instantiate an editForm bean and store it in the request scope. Thanks for all your help though! =) Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: Danny Mui [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 5:46 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: html:form frustration Hi Jonathan, Sorry I jumped to conclusions :). I believe the action looker-upper ignores .do part in your action in the form tag but the correct syntax would be : <html:form action="/edit"> </html:form> Since your action config specifies "/edit" your form tag should also specify "/edit". I think that is what is confusing the lookup. It's looking for a mapping of "/edit.do" (that doesn't exist) where the action servlet disregards .do part and properly dispatches. hth danny -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
