Hi Martyn,
The book that i am using is Beginning JSP 2.0
Building Web Applications using JSP, JAVA, and Struts.

Would you mind forwarding me on your copy of your code the pizza example please if you don't mind so that i can compare.
Thanks,
Ps , I have not programmed in Perl before,
Done c,c++, and java but not perl.

Hi Martyn,
Sorry to bother you again!!!
Just to let you know.I removed Tomcat version four from my machine and installed tomcat version 5.0.16.exe
I then executed both of these programs again and they worked fine this time.
You know the class "param" that is being used in the process.jsp example , was this package included with the java standard tag library?
Thanks
Pat

I'm glad that you managed to solve your problem by installing Tomcat 5. I don't have much experience with anything other than version 3.2.1 and hardly any experience of Struts, etc., we will be upgrading soon, so hopefully I will be of more help to you then. I guess that the fact that I got confused over which book you were using didn't help. Quite how I've managed to be any help to you at all is beyond me, so let me take this opportunity to applogise for any confussion that I may have caused you.

Please don't hesitate to ask if you think that I can be of any help to you in the future.

Cheers

Martyn
