Hi,

It sounds like a problem with your struts-config.xml file or web.xml. Check to see if your action-mappings are correct. Request sent to index.jsp; index.jsp redirects to home.do; anything in .do mapped to struts action servlet; action servlet looks at struts-config.xml and sees home.do should be mapped to com.wrox.tourism.action.BeanNames. Paste your struts-config.xml and web.xml file so I can compare with mine.

I paste the content of web.xml&struts.xml at here

This is content of web.xml

I have replaced home.jsp with index.jsp,but the errors is going on

By default, anything with index.* is automatically read first if a person was to send a request URL with root directory only:

              http://localhost:8080/begjsp-tourism/

When your index.jsp is read, it directs anything with *.do to the action servlet with home.do as the request. Check your struts-config.xml and see if your action-mappings look like this:

              <action-mappings>

                <action path="/home"
                 type
                 unknown="true">
                 <forward name="success" path="/home.jsp"/>
                </action>

The "/home" action path is actually the home.do request as stated earlier (doesn't need .do at end). It then consorts your action class "com.wrox.tourism.actions.HomeAction" (gathers information from MySQL database). If the process was successful, it forwards the name "success" to the action servlet. If not, it should print an error with database connection. The successful name is than sent to home.jsp which has all the layout information. If this doesn't help I will send you my version of my xml files.

I'm sorry, this is the correct action mappings:

<action-mappings>

    <action path="/home"
      type="com.wrox.tourism.actions.HomeAction"
      unknown="true">
      <forward name="success" path="/home.jsp"/>
    </action>

I have tryed. It cann't be ran.
could you send me your version of xml files.
please send the file to the fllowing email
