Homero,

Often, people starting with Struts see blank pages if they use the wrong
method in their Action class.  Are you using perform() instead of execute()
as your method?  Your struts-config.xml file suggests you are using an
outdated book because it lists your config DTD as version 1.0, not something
more recent such as 1.2 (for the current version 1.2.9).  If you are just
starting on the Struts (classic a.k.a. Action 1.0) with the current
downloads, the perform() method has long been deprecated in favor of the
execute() method.  There are a few other changes so you might want to check
the migration notes on the Struts Wiki for later versions.  Most of it
should be the same but a few things have changed since your book teaching
the 1.0 version.  And for what it is worth, I learned Struts using that book
too but my copy of it only taught version 1.0 with notes about 1.1, since
that it when my copy of the book came out.

Regards,
David

Subject: struts not forwarding after action


Hello,

I've created an application on my webapps folder, copied the libraries
and tag descriptors needed, compiled the sources successfully and
wrote the struts-config.xml for my app. But it's not working properly.
=/
I'm trying the first example of the "Struts In Action" book. The JSP
form page is shown fine, but when I send the data, either if the
request succeeds or fails i receive a blank page. It looks like the
forward is not happening. =/

Here is my struts-config.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC
        "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.0//EN"
        "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-config_1_0.dtd";>
<struts-config>
        <form-beans>
                <form-bean name="registerForm" type="app.RegisterForm" />
        </form-beans>
        <action-mappings>
                <action
                        path="/register"
                        type="app.RegisterAction"
                        name="registerForm">
                        <forward name="success" path="/success.html" />
                        <forward name="failure" path="/failure.html" />
                </action>
        </action-mappings>
</struts-config>

The actions do have a return statement with a call to findForward.
Does anyone have any clue of what is happening? =/

Thanks to you all.
Homero C. de Almeida
