ah, ok. Yes, I'm using <html:form> as I want a button rather than a link. Is there any way I can get a button's onClick to load an Action without an ActionForm?

thanks,
Alistair

In the page with the button are you using <html:form> ??? if so you MUST
have a form, you can get around this of course by not using <html:form>.

I tried that but I get:
Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null on action /Start

Subject: Action without ActionForm


Is there any way in struts-config.xml to specify an Action that
doesn't
require an ActionForm?
I have:

index.jsp -> link to controller Action -> decides which jsp to
display
-> start.jsp or stop.jsp

start.jsp and stop.jsp just have a form with a button that
starts/stops
a service. So I don't need an ActionForm

I tried:
<form-bean name="generic"
type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm"/>

<action path="/Start" type="org.test.Actions.Start" name="generic">
   <forward name="started" path="/WEB-INF/jsp/controls/started.jsp"
/>
</action>

but after the "generic" form bean is used by a previous Action I get:
Cannot retrieve definition for form bean generic on action /Start

do I need a DynaActionForm for every Action that doesn't need an
ActionForm?
