I am a new beginner to struts.

I have started by following the book of 'Proffesional Jakarta Struts'
by Wrox publication.

I have followed the instructions to set the struts application as per the book.
Also I have set the classpath for struts.jar;

Now i face two problems :
1) In the index.jsp of ch03 application in chapter3.(the first one)
   I am unable to excess the index.jsp file through TOMCAT server.
   it is unable to compile.
   the problem is in the html:form taglibrary.
2) I am able to compile the bean class.
   i.e, LookupForm.java
   But as soon as i compile the LookupAction.java file(the action class) , it shows unable to find Class LookupForm.

   The point of error:
   LookupForm look = (LookupForm)lookup;

Please advice.

javed.

Check for following taglib entries in the web.xml and import statement for the same should checked in the JSP.
<taglib>
            <taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/struts/struts-bean.tld</taglib-uri>
            <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts/struts-bean.tld</taglib-location>
        </taglib>

        <taglib>
            <taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/struts/struts-html.tld</taglib-uri>
            <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts/struts-html.tld</taglib-location>
        </taglib>

        <taglib>
            <taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/struts/struts-logic.tld</taglib-uri>
            <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts/struts-logic.tld</taglib-location>
        </taglib>

          <taglib>
            <taglib-uri>/WEB-INF/struts/struts-tiles.tld</taglib-uri>
            <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts/struts-tiles.tld</taglib-location>
