Correction - I just tried it again with the original CCProcess.jsp, and intentionally left errors on the form, and the log DOES indicate that control is being forwarded to Retry.jsp (as it should). However, the case still holds that when the data is correct, upon hitting the submit button, it is logged that the form has been validated, and control is being forwarded to Verify.jsp, and then again, according to the log both jsp's are being loaded, yet Retry.jsp is displayed in the browser.
Log file: 2003-01-05 23:45:15 jsp: Entering CCProcess 2003-01-05 23:45:15 jsp: Error on form - forwarding to Retry.jsp 2003-01-05 23:45:15 jsp: Entering Retry.jsp - error on form 2003-01-05 23:45:20 jsp: Entering CCProcess 2003-01-05 23:45:20 jsp: Form Has Been Validated - forwarding to Verify.jsp 2003-01-05 23:45:20 jsp: Entered Verify.jsp 2003-01-05 23:45:20 jsp: Entering Retry.jsp - error on form Thanks.

This is my CCProcess.jsp: <%@ page import="java.util.*" %> <%@ page import="com.complusdata.beans.FormBean" %> <% log("Entering CCProcess"); %> <jsp:useBean id="formBean" class="com.complusdata.beans.FormBean" scope="request"> <jsp:setProperty name="formBean" property="*"/> </jsp:useBean> <% if (formBean.validate()) { log("Form Has Been Validated - forwarding to Verify.jsp"); %> <jsp:forward page="/CCPayments/28/Verify.jsp"/> <% } else { log("Error on form - forwarding to Retry.jsp"); %> <jsp:forward page="/CCPayments/28/Retry.jsp"/> <% } %> I also added code to Verify.jsp to log when "Entering Verify.jsp", and code to Retry.jsp to log when "Entering Retry.jsp - error on form". Here is the output of my log: 2003-01-05 22:41:49 jsp: Entering CCProcess 2003-01-05 22:41:49 jsp: Form Has Been Validated - forwarding to Verify.jsp 2003-01-05 22:41:50 jsp: Entering Retry.jsp - error on form 2003-01-05 22:41:57 jsp: Entering CCProcess 2003-01-05 22:41:57 jsp: Form Has Been Validated - forwarding to Verify.jsp 2003-01-05 22:41:57 jsp: Entering Retry.jsp - error on form Now this is what I did to test. I called my form, left two fields blank, then submitted (form action="CCProcess.jsp"). As it should, Retry.jsp was displayed with the appropriate error messages. If you notice in the log, on the call to CCProcess.jsp, "entering CCProcess" is logged. BUT - even though there were errors on the page, it was still written to the log that control is being forwarded to Verify.jsp (even though it technically wasn't) AND it does not log that control is being forwarded to Retry.jsp AND "Entering Retry.jsp - error on form" is logged. Then after correcting the errors, I hit submit, and Retry.jsp is loaded again (no error messages displayed because all data is correct). Now this is where control should have been forwarded to Verify.jsp. The log shows that it is getting forwarded, but it never enters. Now here is the STRANGEST thing. In CCProcess.jsp I commented everything below the </jsp:useBean> and left ONLY the <jsp:forward page="/CCPayments/28/Verify.jsp"/> - this way not matter what Verify.jsp should have been loaded. Check out what is says in the log: 2003-01-05 23:21:05 jsp: Entering CCProcess 2003-01-05 23:21:05 jsp: Entered Verify.jsp 2003-01-05 23:21:05 jsp: Entering Retry.jsp - error on form 2003-01-05 23:21:08 jsp: Entering CCProcess 2003-01-05 23:21:08 jsp: Entered Verify.jsp 2003-01-05 23:21:08 jsp: Entering Retry.jsp - error on form According to the log - both jsp pages are being loaded...?? I even tried deleting everything in my work directory to make sure the new files were being compiled. This is all very strange and I am at a total loss :( Thanks so much for taking the time to look at all this. Denise -----Original Message----- From: Noel J.

Just trying to illustrate logging within a context similar to what you are likely doing. --- Noel -----Original Message----- From: Denise Mangano [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, January 05, 2003 21:31 To: 'Noel J. Bergman '; 'Tomcat Users List ' Subject: RE: Changed file name now webapp not working right Noel, I even tried changing everything back to FormValidate.jsp and it still doesn't work... Yes, your scenario is correct, form action "was" FormValidate.jsp - and "is now" CCProcess.jsp, and depending on outcome of form validation, CCPRocess.jsp will forward to Verify.jsp or Retry.jsp. But now after the "rename" I never get to Verify.jsp. The action of Retry.jsp is CCProcess.jsp. What is completely boggling my mind is that it was working perfectly before I changed the file name :( Well I guess its true what they say, if its not broke... And I feel pretty dumb saying this, but I do not know how to trace using log code. I am assuming you mean add some code in the jsp file (and/or FormBean.java?) that will write to a log file to see what is happening. Would you be able to recommend the code and the placement of that code so I can trace this? Or maybe point me in the right direction to some documentation? Thanks :) Denise -----Original Message----- From: Noel J. Bergman To: Tomcat Users List Sent: 1/5/2003 3:14 PM Subject: RE: Changed file name now webapp not working right Denise, The front end is/was FormValidate.jsp/CCProcess.jsp, which forwards to Verify.jsp or Retry.jsp? You renamed it, and now when you submit the form you never get to Verify.jsp? You are saying that when Retry.jsp submits the form, the form action is CCProcess.jsp? Have you put any log code into CCProcess.jsp to trace what is happening? --- Noel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
