Exception creating bean of class web.struts.form.CompanyRegistrationForm

[Haris Farooque]

hi all,
I am having a problem here with my CompanyRegistrationForm and CompanyRegistrationAction. It says Exception creating bean of class web.struts.form.CompanyRegistrationForm

amazing fact is that, I have successfully made 2 other forms (userLogin and userRegistration) with their actions and they are working fine but i don't what is wrong with my 3rd form(CompanyRegistrationForm) i have checked all the settings in struts-config.xml and in the companyRegistration.jsp and i didn't find anything wrong there. also thre are no Typo mistakes in any of these files.
Please suggest something if any of you have experienced similar issue before.

code samples are attached below;

struts-config.xml:

<form-beans>
   <form-bean name="CompanyRegistrationForm" type="web.struts.form.CompanyRegistrationForm"></form-bean>
</form-beans>

<action-mappings>
  <action
	      path="/companyRegistration"
	      name="CompanyRegistrationForm"
	      scope="request"
	      validate="true"
	      input="/companyRegistration.jsp"
	      type="web.struts.action.CompanyRegistrationAction">
	      <forward name="success" path="/registrationsuccess.jsp"/>
	      <forward name="input" path="/CompanyRegistration.jsp"/>
	     <forward name="updated" path="/updatesuccess.jsp"/>
   </action>
</action-mappings>

companyRegistration.jsp I am taking inputs for two DB tables in one jsp, and so this is defined in my CompanyRegistration.hbm.xml

    
<html:form action="/companyRegistration" method="post" onsubmit="return validateForm(this);">
	<html:hidden property="userid" />
	<html:hidden property="action" />
	<html:hidden property="actionUpdateData" />
	
	<table width="50%" border="1" class="signup" align="center">

I hope I have provided enough details!

as soon as I open the registration form with this URL:http://localhost:802/main/companyRegistration.jsp it gives following execption;

Suprise Suprise!

Amazing problems have amazing solutions!

i removed the '/' from my companyRegistration.jsp in form action and it started to work
previously:

<html:form action="/companyRegistration" method="post" onsubmit="return validateForm(this);">

now>

<html:form action="companyRegistration" method="post" onsubmit="return validateForm(this);">

i don't know if this is a typo mistake or else because my other 2 JSPs are working fine with '/'

anyway this problem is resolved. i hope things will work fine but if not then, of course, i will get back again

regards
