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.

What could be the cause of the problem?
