The error message you are receiving indicates that DispatchAction is trying
to find a method named 'error' in your class and it can't find one.
There's really only two reasons that could be:
1. There should be a method named 'error' and there isn't one.
2. There isn't supposed to be one but somehow you are attempting
to call it with a URL like this:
http://localhost:8080/myapp/tr518page1.do?dispatch1=error
Are you dynamically generating the URL? If so, that might be the problem if
it is generating an error returning a string like "error=XXXX".
For what it's worth, I copied your code and it dispatches perfectly well
here. (BTW my previous message about Exceptions was a red herring. Although
you should be throwing Exception, I tried it as you had written and it
works.)
