Hello Frank
ActionForm in no necesary if you don't use the <html:form> tag.. if
you use it then you have to use an actionform even if you don't have any
validation on it.
Hope it helps,
Johann

Subject: ActionForm necessary?
I have a jsp form which has fields that require no validation. So I don't
need to validate the form input.
If I don't include an ActionForm, I get a "... null form ..." error message.
Does this mean that I MUST create ActionForms, even if they are "empty" --
i.e., no validate() method and no getters/setters defined?
Here's my mapping. The ActionForm referred to by "saveDocHyperlinksForm" is
empty. So why can't I simply OMIT the "name", "scope" and "validate"
name/value pairs?
<action path="/saveDocHyperlinks"
type="com.domain.some.struts.SaveDocHyperlinksAction"
name="saveDocHyperlinksForm"
scope="request"
validate="false">
<forward name="success" path="/sysAdminModule/protectedPages/links.jsp"
/>
</action>
Thanks,
Frank.
