Re: Problems when not using html:form

[Joe Germuska]

I think that if you just fully-qualify the action of your form, it would work.

That is,
<form name="LoginForm" method="post" action="/Login.do" focus="userName">

Hi folks,

For a variety of reasons, I can't use the struts HTML tags in my jsps.  To
get things started, I got it working using html:form, but now I have to
remove that tag.  So, I'm trying to figure out how to specify the form to
correctly call my action.  The jsp gets displayed correctly, but when I
click the submit button, I get an invalid path error.
Here's what my jsp looks like...

   <!-- html:form action="Login" focus="userName" -->
   <form name="LoginForm" method="post" action="Login.do" focus="userName">
      <table border="0" width="100%">
      <!-- input fields removed for brevity... -->
      <tr>
         <td align="right">
            <input type="submit" name="Login" property="Login" value="Log
In" >
         </td>
         <td align="left">
            <input type="submit" name="Reset" property="Reset" value
="Reset" >
         </td>
      </tr>
      </table>
   </form>
And here's the relevant portion of my struts-config file...

  <action-mappings>
    <action path="/Login" type
="com.edgil.TransactionMgr.Actions.LoginAction" name="LoginForm" scope
="request" input="/jsp/Login.jsp">
      <forward name="Main" path="/jsp/Main.jsp" redirect="false"/>
    </action>
  etc...
When I click submit, here's what I get:

Apache Tomcat/4.0.6 - HTTP Status 400 - Invalid path /jsp/Login was
requested
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
type: Status report
message: Invalid path /jsp/Login was requested
description: The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect
(Invalid path /jsp/Login was requested).
I suspect that /jsp/... is coming from the fact that the jsp is found in a
directory, called jsp, which is at the same level as WEB_INF.
So, what do I need to specify in the form to trigger the action correctly?

Thanx!

Mike
