Does your struts.xml have an action mapping for "/starFinder"? If not, your page will bomb.

Are you accessing the JSP page directly?

and my index.jsp is in the ch03app directory.

Pages with Struts tags shouldn't be accessed directly; the tags won't work. In general, there shouldn't be any JSP pages accessed directly in an MVC-based app.

Don't type into the browser.

JSP pages should be under WEB-INF to disallow direct access. JSP pages with Struts 1 form tags must go through an action: configure an action for the input page somehow.

With a little knowledge, a cast iron skillet is non-stick and lasts a lifetime.
