I experimented a little bit: 1. I changed all struts tags to html tags in my messageForm.jsp and I also excluded the opening <html:form> and closing </html:form> tag.
The action mapping shown below works fine. I am able to see the form that I want to display in the browser. <action path="/MailMessage" parameter=".message.Form" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"/> 2. I then added the opening <html:form> in the beginning of the messageForm.jsp and the closing </html:form> tag at the end of the messageForm.jsp. I got the error message 'cannot retrieve definition for form bean null' 3. the <html:form> tag looks like (copied from my code): <html:form action="/message/SendMessage"> 4. the action mapping in the struts-config.xml looks like (copied from my code): <action path="/message/SendMessage" type="org.dhsinfo.message.SendMessage" name="messageForm" scope="request" validate="false" input=".message.Form"> <forward name="success" path="/confirmation/messageForwarded.jsp"/> </action> 5. I have not yet prepared the SendMessage.java in the AppRoot/org/dhsinfo/message folder yet.
