ActionForm and ActionServlet (java file) is placed inside "multipleform" directory

Please look into the code and answer please.

Where I am doing wrong ?

Thanks

hi,

I dont think you have placed the UserRegistrationAction in the multiform folder. Please check because the exception says that the Class UserRegistrationAction is not found.

[Bosun Bello]

Should this <html:form action="/userRegistration.do"> not be
<html:form action="/userRegistration">, since struts actually adds the ".do" when this tag is used.

[dnyan ginde]

There should'nt be a problem with using "/userRegistration.do".

Check <param-name> in web.xml

Like, I have:

<param-name>struts-servlet-mapping</param-name>
<param-value>*.do</param-value>

and in struts-config.xml:

<action path="/Login"
type="com.abc.MyAction">
</action>

and call action from JSP:

<html:form action="/Login" >

You better check Rick's example for Lesson 1 on her site: http://www.learntechnology.net/

Bye,

Hi,

Check you action class extends DispatchAction and form class extends ActionForm.

[Merrill Higginson]

It's a good idea to check the inheritance of your Action class. However it's Action you should be extending, not DispatchAction. Also check that you haven't overridden or made non-public the default no-args constructor of the Action class.

[Moises Lejter]

just wanted to mention that your suggestion was right on the money, when I just ran into this... I had made my constructor protected (cut and paste error :-) ) and I could not figure out why it would not work ...

Thank you!
