I am getting the following error:

javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: No getter method for property projects of bean projectListForm

I have searched the internet and found many such errors, but the common solutions don't seem to apply here. ProjectListForm does in fact have a setter for property.

ProjectListForm.java

ProjectListAction.java

package com.x.strutstut.struts.action;
 
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collection;
 
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
 
import org.apache.struts.action.Action;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
 
import com.x.strutstut.bo.ViewProjects;
import com.x.strutstut.struts.form.ProjectListForm;
import com.x.strutstut.vo.Project;

public class ProjectListAction extends Action {
 
/** 
 * Method execute
 * @param mapping
 * @param form
 * @param request
 * @param response
 * @return ActionForward
 */
 public ActionForward execute(
ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) {
ProjectListForm projectListForm = (ProjectListForm) form;
 
ViewProjects db = new ViewProjects();
//projectListForm.setProjects(db.viewAll());
ArrayList<Project> projects = db.viewAll();
request.setAttribute("projects",projects);
    return mapping.findForward("showList");
 }
 
}

Here's the culprit:

<jsp:useBean id = "projectListForm" scope = "request" class = "com.x.strutstut.struts.action.ProjectListAction" />

Change this to

<jsp:useBean id = "projectListForm" scope = "request" class = "com.x.strutstut.struts.form.ProjectListForm" />

That was the problem. Thank you very much for the reply.

Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
