But that's exactly what the Logic tags are for: a JSP that produces different output according to inputs. For example: If, in your Java code, you have: if (reqType == A) sb.append ("User made request A"); You can instead have in a JSP file (I'm using struts 2 tags because it's what I know, but there are s1 equivalents): <s:if test="reqType == A"> User made request A </s:if> Both of those should do the same thing. I suppose it's beside the point if you're stuck with the current design, though. Anyway, did you check out the request object's contents? If the parameter is indeed missing from the request, then the next step is to find out what should Be putting it into the request (probably the previous page, I'd guess) and make sure that is putting it in. If it seems like the incoming URLs are correct, including that parameter, then it looks like you have an Apache or Tomcat problem, and you should probably ask them about it. ~DVA -----Original Message----- From: Raghuveer Rawat [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 07, 2008 2:45 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Action servlet becomes null in UNIX environment Thanks for the prompt reply. Its a late 90's huge application in which now i cannot start using Strus 2 as iam the only developer working on this. We are using html in java code because the JSP changes at run time according to the user inputs . Yeah , i agree that coz of diff environment we face lot of problems but i cannot do anything as its not my decision. We run Apache as a front end for Tomcat. Apache serves up the html pages and uses mod_jk mounts to forward the java application requests to Tomcat. I'll try to find out what else i can do as i am unable to see anything in apache logs as well.
