MC, Actually, the jsp page is referring a page within my application. For testing purpose, I tried with an absolute URL and I sent U that changed jsp. Anyways, I noted that anything between the <html> tags is not affecting b'coz even after removing the complete body and just leaving (<%@ taglib....) with an empty body, I am still getting the NullPOinterException. So I guess there is something wrong happening when jsp page is invoked thru the struts framework and that too only when html taglibrary is used.

You should use the 'href' parameter to refer to a URI. I've never found any good documentation on the use of various taglib parameters, maybe somebody else on this list could point us in the right direction. PS If you leave the taglib statement in and take out the html:link commands do you still get the NullPointer error? Also, because these URIs are external to the application there is nothing to stop you using a simple html anchor <a href=...>link</a>. The use of the html taglib is only really necessary when referring to elements within your application.
