Here's a basic page, logon.jsp

------------------------------

<%@ taglib uri=&quot;/tags/struts-html&quot; prefix=&quot;html&quot;%>
<html:html>
<body>
<html:link action=&quot;/link1&quot;>1</html:link>
</body> </html:html>
-------------------------------

I'm implementing all pages as definitions in an xml page, definitions.xml Here's the jist of it

<definition name=&quot;indexdef&quot; path=&quot;/WEB-INF/templates/layout.jsp&quot;>
<put name=&quot;header&quot; value=&quot;/WEB-INF/templates/header.jsp&quot;/> <put name=&quot;topnav&quot; value=&quot;/WEB-INF/templates/topnav.jsp&quot;/> <put name=&quot;leftnav&quot; value=&quot;/WEB-INF/templates/leftnav.jsp&quot;/> <put name=&quot;body&quot; value=&quot;/WEB-INF/jsp/index.jsp&quot;/>
<put name=&quot;bottomnav&quot; value=&quot;/WEB-INF/templates/bottomnav.jsp&quot;/>
</definition>

<definition name=&quot;link1def&quot; extends=&quot;indexdef&quot;>
<put name=&quot;body&quot; value=&quot;/WEB-INF/jsp/link1.jsp&quot;/> </definition>
--------------------------

For the link1 link, I use the following action

<action-mappings> <action path=&quot;/link1&quot; type=&quot;hansen.playground.DoFirst&quot;>
<forward name=&quot;success&quot; path=&quot;/link1def&quot;/>
</action>
----------------

It seems like everything should work, but when i click on the link1 link i get the following error.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path link1 does not start with a &quot;/&quot; character

-------- Any ideas anyone?

Hi,

In the action mapping action attribute replace
<forward name=&quot;success&quot; path=&quot;/Link1def&quot;/>
with
<forward name=&quot;success&quot; path=&quot;Link1def&quot;/>

Remove the &quot;/&quot; as the Path of the File is already defined in the definition.

Cheers,
Venu

Hi,

Sorry conti... you need to even change your link to
<html:link action=&quot;/Link1.do&quot;>1</html:link>

If it is in form then like this <html:form action=&quot;Link1&quot;></html:form>

Ceers,
Venu
