Hello. Thanks for your help. Is form-beans essential even if I don't want
to store form data in the session? Should the values of form variables not
be available in the action class via the use of request.getParameter('x')
even if form-beans aren't used? Offcourse, I will eventually want to use
form-beans to capture form data but it seems that this data should be
transmitted via HTTP regardless of whether one uses form-beans or not?

Asad,
Is this your complete struts-config.xml? If so, you're missing <form-beans>
collection in it. Please add your form in the <form-beans> and then add the
"name" attribute in the action to refer to your form.
<form-beans>
<form-bean name="testForm" type="com.nms.webapp.test.TestForm"/>
</form-beans>
and then in your action mapping:
<action path="/businessToolsStepOne" type="
registration.BusinessToolsStepOneAction" name="testForm">
<forward name="missing-business-data" path="/missingBusinessData.jsp" />
<forward name="business-tools-step-two" path="/businessToolsStepTwo.jsp"
/>
</action>
also make sure sure in your JSP you're using html:text struts tags and
setting appropriate properites:
<html:text property="zipCode"/>
This assumes your testForm has a getter/setter for zipCode.
Hope this helps.

Hello. I am new to Struts and currently developing a Struts application.
For some reason, form variables are not being transmitted upon form
submission and at the same time there is no error or stack trace that I
can reference to diagnose the error. I am not able to access the form
variables inside my action class for which I have provided the code below
(i.e. the form variables always have a value of null). I have also
provided the contents of struts-config.xml below. FYI, I am not using the
Struts validator. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
