many thanks for the suggestions, especially the html:rewrite - can use that somewhere else.

Maybe .. how about using a bean of type DynaActionForm?. Therefore you can kind of pretend you have a bean, but not really use the bean, and not really have a class that you have to manage?
eg: <form-bean name="foobar" type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm"> </form-bean>
So in your action, you can call <action path="/foopath" name="foobar" input="/index.jsp" type=com.skp.... scope="request" validate="false" <forward name="Success" path="somewhere.jsp" /> </action>
I don't know if I am accurate, but from what I read abiout the DynaActionForm it looks like this may fly.

thanks Scott, that works but it sort of breaks the insulation of the jsp from the site structure: <form action="Start.do"> if Start.do ever moves then all the jsp will have to change. This would be nice: <input type="button" onClick="<html:link forward="/Start.do" />" /> but you can't do that :( cheers, Alistair

Did you get that in your JSP file? I found that if I use the html:form
tag in the jsp page in which I use that technique that it errors.
If that is the case, in the JSP page, just use the normal <form name ....blah> and see if the error goes away.

Just don't specify a form (i.e. no name="..." attribute) in your action mapping....

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?
