It should be struts-config.xml, without that extra 'c'. That is, unless you mapped it that way in the web.xml.

[aditya jampani]

:-)
That was a mistake....
Here is my settings for struts-config.xml in web.xml

<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>

Still im getting

javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot find ActionMappings or ActionFormBeans collection

:-(

Hello Every,
I too am facing same Excpetion. I am doing to solve this exception from last 2 days.
What is going wrong ?

[Craig Jackson]

Can you post the contentes of your struts-config.xml? Maybe that will give us an idea of what could be the problem.

Thanks.

[Marc Peabody]

Quote taken from Common Struts Errors. I recommend adding this link to your favorites.

Either the <servlet> tags for the Struts action servlet or the <servlet-mapping> tags for the .do extension mapping or both not present in the web.xml file. I saw a case where the web.xml file had no elements other than the root element and so this error was occurring.
Typos or spelling errors in the struts-config.xml can lead to this error message. For example, missing a slash ("/") on a closing tag can have this effect.
Another element that must be present in the web.xml file is the load-on-startup element. This can be either an empty tag or can have an integer specified that indicates the priority of executing the associated servlet. The higher the number in the load-on-startup tags, the lower its priority.
Another possibility, related to need to use load-on-startup tag, is that precompiling JSPs using Struts can lead to this message as well.

Hi all,

Even i had faced the same problem some days back.
I could solve like this,

The package where your ActionForm class and Action class may not be proper.
See your struts-config.xml file <action> tag, and verify your package(type attribute for Action) and <form-bean type for ActionForm) is correct or not.
Also check is that reflected in your application directory structure.

If you couldn't figure it out, try removing packages from you classes and simply keep it under WEB-INF/classes directory, and do make the same change in struts-config.xml.

I hope this solves your problem.

Hi,

I too faced the same pblm. After researching, I found out that the error may occur due to the dtd version. If you are using struts 1.2 and if your dtd version is lower, this exception will occur.

Hope this will work fine if you check the dtd version....

[Billy Bob]

and how is it that you go about checking the new dtd version and updating it?

this is what i hate about some of these technologies, every post i look at people have spent days trying to figure out how to get it to work with 60 different attempted solutions but no concrete reason as to the cause.
