Nine times out of ten when I get that message it is one of two things: - I haven't referenced the bean properly in the tag. This is especially true of anything which references a collection, because that syntax is just off.
- I haven't put the bean in the proper scope. Less frequent, but it happens. BTW: Your struts-config and JSP source is coming across as blanks on my mailreader. -= J > -----Original Message----- > From: Art Vandalay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 3:19 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: Re: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null > > > > I'm sorry to bug everyone again with this, but I cannot > figure out what this error message is telling me.
