Problem with form submission!!

+Pie Number of slices to send: Send
Hello.. I have a problem
I'm using the following files to do some basic input checking from a form:
register.htm gathers input and submits to process.jsp
process.jsp calls FormBean.class which does some basic error checking, control goes back to process.jsp
[IF] FormBean's validate method() comes back valid, the user is directed to success jsp and his information is copied to a database handler bean
[ELSE]
redirect user to retry.jsp

I get the following error message (I get the same thing deploying under websphere)
An error occurred at line: 10 in the JSP file: /process.jsp

I've deployed this application as an EAR file under websphere as well as Sun App server. Neither work. Here is the directory structure:
/project/ <- html and jsp files
/project/WEB-INF/classes <- bean
/project/WEB-INF/ <- web.xml
I got the source code from this tutorial:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-03-2000/jw-0331-ssj-forms-p4.html

Thanks for any help!!!

Hi,
If you are using any package, give the fully qualified classname
ex: <jsp:useBean id="formHandler"
class="org.xxx.iccbeans.SubmissionHandler"
scope="request"
>
Check whether class files are being generated and are in right place WEB-INF/classes/package/*.class
Problem is it is not finding class file. So, check for that

Kavitha,
I tried what you said, but I'm still getting the same thing. I get the following error message:
_process_jsp.java [76:1] package foo does not exist
foo.FormBean formHandler = null;
^
I'm also getting an invalid package declaration on my java bean, though it compiles.
I've placed my classes under foo/WEB-INF/classes
I tried putting the jsp in the foo directory and also WEB-Inf. I added c:\foo to my classpath. I tried what you said when calling the bean:
<jsp:useBean id="formHandler" class="foo.FormBean" scope="request">
<jsp:setProperty name="formHandler" property="*"/>
</jsp:useBean>
Thanks for any help,
Dinesh

Hey Dinesh
the bean classes should go into the WEB-INF folder
so if your class name is FormBean and its under foo package then
you would place it in
WEB-INF/classes/foo/FormBean
and in your jsp page import that package
<%@ page import="foo.*" %>
hope this helps

Thanks for the help Vivek that seems to work. Where should I put my JSPs at? I get this error message now.
foo/process.jsp [-1:-1] java.io.FileNotFoundException: /foo/process.jsp

the preferred way is to follow a directory structure. On Tomcat you will place the entire project under the webapps directory.
lets say the project name is proj.
this proj should have a WEB-INF folder, which in turn contains classes and lib folder. you will place your packages under classes folder and any required jar files in lib folder.
the jsp's / servlets go directly under the proj folder.
proj/jsp files - servlets
proj/WEB-INF/classes/your packages
proj/WEB-INF/lib/ your project reqd jar files
what server are you using??
hope this clears everything

Thanks.. Now, I'm getting another error message about the package.
An error occurred at line: 10 in the JSP file: /process.jsp
Generated servlet error:
Class _jasper.FormBean not found.
FormBean formHandler = null;
^
Here is the directory structure:
examples2/ <- jsp/html files
examples2/WEB-INF/ <- web.xml
examples2/WEB-INF/classes/foo <- FormBean.class
I'm using the sun one studio developer, it has a bundled application server. It should be similar to tomcat right? i AM finally getting the first html page to load up. It is when I submit the form to process.jsp that this error occurs. Thanks again!
Any more suggestions?
