First, I'm pretty sure the path in your action attribute in the <html:form> tag needs to be prefixed with a '/' :
<html:form action="/TopLevelDone.do"> I'd change that just for a sanity check, though it doesn't appear to be your problem. Throw some sys-outs or something into your TopLevelAction in a couple of places (right before it returns the ActionForward would be a good one) just to make sure it's not barfing on something. One possibility: If you have 'index.jsp' set as your web app.'s exception page in your web.xml, and your action is throwing an exception, then you'll end up there. Double-check that the (possible) exception isn't getting dumped into Strut's log4j log or something like that. peace, Joe > -----Original Message----- > From: Geoff Seel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 11:02 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Redirected to index.jsp unexpectedly > > > I am trying to evaluate Struts for a client and have tried to build an > example from the basic struts-blank.war.I am clearly making a stupid > error but cannot find anything similar in the mailing > archives so would > appreciate help for a newbie. > > My first jsp (TopLevel.jsp) contains the following: > > <html:form action="TopLevelDone.do"> > Menu: <html:select property="menu"> > <html:option value="AC">Add Calendar</html:option> > <html:option value="AH">Add Holiday</html:option> > <html:option value="RC">Remove Calendar</html:option> > <html:option value="RH">Remove Holiday</html:option> > <html:option value="LC">List Calendars</html:option> > <html:option value="LH">List Holidays</html:option> > <html:option value="HD">Holiday Dates</html:option> > </html:select><br> > <html:submit value="Enter"/> > </html:form> > > My struts-config.xml contains the following > > <action path="/TopLevelDone" > type="actions.TopLevelAction" > name="TopLevelForm" > scope="request" > input="/TopLevel.jsp"> > <forward name="addCalendar" path="/AddCalendar.jsp"/> > <forward name="failure" path="/TopLevel.jsp"/> > </action> > > I have a TopLevelAction.class in the actions package that > just pulls in > the value of menu and redirects according to its value. > > When I run the jsp and enter a value I get redirected back to > index.jsp > with '?menu=AC&submit=Enter' appended. > If I change the action attribute in html:form to rubbish it says it > can't find the action so it must be getting that far.
