Hi Satya, welcome to javaranch.

When you use html:form tag, the target action class must have a form bean defined for it. I suppose you can skip this by using a normal form tag instead of html:form tag...

Or just use a link.

Ankit ,yes you are right


i did not write form bean.so can you please tell me if i use general from to call action, i tried that one also but when i clicked on button no event hasnotbeen occured . can you plese guide me regarding this
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="logout" onclick=logout()>
function logout(){

Please UseCodeTags.

Am I understanding what you've written here correctly?

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="logout" onclick=logout()>
function logout(){
    <form action=/login.do>
}

Is that a form tag inside a JavaScript function?
