... as I seem to get stuck on the simplest things.
For example:
I have set up Eclipse with MyEclipse (thanks, Jim Barrows, for this recommendation)
and just trying to get simple page flow working. But I don't seem to understand 'forwards',
as I have a 2-line index.jsp:
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-logic"; prefix="logic" %>
<logic:redirect forward="welcome"/>
that seems to work but then a forward from that page, Welcome.jsp:
<%@ page language="java"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-bean"; prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html"; prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-logic"; prefix="logic" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-tiles"; prefix="tiles" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-template"; prefix="template" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-nested"; prefix="nested" %>

</html:html>Tomcat gives this error:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot create rewrite URL: java.net.MalformedURLException: Cannot retrieve ActionForward named signon
Even though I am looking at a global forward and a local forward named 'signon', and an 'actionMapping' to match, it looks to me, all approved by MyEclipse so I am at least not making any dumb XML syntax errors:

</struts-config>I have looked at this until I am even more crosseyed than normal :-), so if it's obvious to you at a glance what's going on I would be very grateful for a slap up 'side the head!
