Thanks for the answer. I've checked the contents of the HTTP Request and, the first time I attempt to display the Form the Request is empty (as I would expect). There is no org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN object that I can see using the request.getAttributes() method.
I appear to be having different behaviour entering the same JSP page with the same Request contents (i.e. nothing) depending upon whether or not the WAR file was unpacked when Tomcat was started. I've tried explicitly creating an instance of the Form Bean in the JSP page using jsp:useBean. If I create it in the Request then I get this exception every time I visit the page regardless of whether the WAR file was unpacked or not. If I put it in the Session I get the initial behaviour. I'm sure that there must be Struts pages using FormBeans running under Tomcat 4.1.12 out there so what am I doing wrong? One route would be to upgrade to Struts 1.1b2 but I'm a bit reluctant to deploy an application using Beta version software. Any suggestions anyone? -----Original Message----- From: David Graham [mailto:dgraham1980@;hotmail.com] Sent: 28 October 2002 17:28 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Struts 1.0.2, Tomcat 4.1.12 Web-App start-up funny I suggest you develop with tomcat 4.1.12 since you're deploying on that version. It will make your life easier with less surprises. You should check what object is stored under org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN in the request. It may not be the bean you think it is.
