I tried using the wrong classname (ie not fully qualified) on one of my actions (that gets invoked 'directly') to see what error message is produced and it still parses ok at startup and when I try to go to that page I get a ClassNotFoundException - which means that while you have a problem with your type field , I dont think thats the error thats actually causing you grief right now.
Have a good look at the rest of your struts-config as it may well be a typo in some other part of the xml and not related to this particular action after all. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hill [mailto:andrew.david.hill@;gridnode.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 19:32 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: direct acess to Action Hmm. I think the type attribute needs the full classname. ie: type="com.unist.plot.CreatePlantListAction" Is that all the information it gave about the error? No exceptions in the log? -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hill [mailto:andrew.david.hill@;gridnode.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 19:29 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: direct acess to Action No wait!

I want to create an ArrayList, before I display my jsp, because this jsp page needs to ue this ArrayList. Therefore I wrote an action mapping: <action path="/createPlantList" type="CreatePlantListAction" name="createPlantListForm" scope="request" validate="false"> <forward name="plantListCreated" path="index.jsp"/> </action> So I want to use this Action by typing /createPlantList.do into my browser line. That should create an ArrayList and should forward to my index.jsp, where the ArrayList will be displayed. Could this work ? If it could work this way, what did I do wrong ? here comes the error message: Parsing error processing resource path /WEB-INF/struts-config.xml thanks in advance, marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
