Murry, Thanks but NO as I think you suspected you DO NOT need to put the ".do" on the end, the <html:form...> tag looks in the struts-config.xml to find the action. I have more than a dozen struts applications all working fine and even other forms within the problematic application also working fine. As a matter of fact adding the name attribute to the input tags also got this problematic form working.
I just don't know why the MappingElement bean did not associate with the form tag. Michael Oliver CTO Alarius Systems LLC 6800 E.

Yours may not be wrong, it maybe just different to mine, but how different does it need to be before it becomes wrong, I'm not sure about. It could be that your form is not being identified as an action in your struts-config.xml. I'm guessing your action servlet setting is something like "*.do", in which case your action on the form needs to reflect "*.do". Try: <html:form action="/SaveMappingElement.do"> Also, in your struts-config.xml you have lots of actions (which is normal). You only specify the name="{form-bean}" on the action that will receive one of these forms. For example, <action path="/ShowTheAddPage" type="..." scope="request"> <forward.../> </action> <action path="/ProcessTheAddPage" type="..." name="MappingElement" scope="request"> <forward.../> </action> Kind regards mc On 23 Sep 2005 at 6:13, Michael Oliver wrote: > I guess I didn't include all from struts-config.xml that I needed to > include. > > Here is the full portion of the configuration for all the actions > relating to the MappingElement > > They all have the name="MappingElement" > > <action name="MappingElement" path="/EditMappingElement" > type="com.alariusj.verdx.actions.EditMappingElement"> > <forward name="mappingElementForm" path="/pages/MappingElementForm.jsp"/> > </action> > > <action name="MappingElement" path="/DeleteMappingElement" > type="com.alarius.datasource.actions.EditMappingElement"/> > > <action name="MappingElement" path="/SaveMappingElement" > type="com.alariusj.verdx.actions.SaveMappingElement"> > <forward name="showVerdXDataSourceDescriptor" > path="/ShowVerdXDataSourceDescriptor.do"/> > </action> > > So I am still at a loss as to why the bean was not getting associated > with the html:form tag. > Adding the name attribute to the input tags works but WOULD be > redundant if the html:form tag was working properly. > > > > Michael Oliver > CTO > Alarius Systems LLC > 6800 E.
