java.lang.ClassCastException

[maxpower1]

I'm getting this error everytime I try to run my jsp page.

when I have this attribute in my jsp page:-


<html:form action=&quot;/ViewOperation&quot;
type=&quot;myCom.struts.operation.OperationAction&quot;>

It loads ok. but when i added the line

name=&quot;operationForm&quot;

I get java.lang.ClassCastException. any clues?

thanks

(guessing) ...
... this is because when Struts renders the JSP, it assigns its own name - in this case it would be &quot;ViewOperationForm&quot; - and (I think) this name is used to lookup the class for the form bean - is there another form bean named &quot;operationForm&quot; ?

thanks sedj for replying. I tried changing the form name from operationsForm to operationsSearchForm:-

<form-bean name=&quot;operationsSearchForm&quot;
type=&quot;mycom.struts.operations.OperationsForm&quot;/>

in the action-mapping, I thus did this:-

<action path=&quot;/ViewOperations&quot;
type=&quot;mycom.struts.operations.OperationsAction&quot;
validate=&quot;false&quot;
input=&quot;/viewoperations.jsp&quot;
name=&quot;operationsSearchForm&quot;>
<set-property property=&quot;debugEnabled&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;/>
<set-property property=&quot;loginRequired&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;/>
<forward name=&quot;success&quot; path=&quot;/viewoperations.jsp&quot;/>
<forward name=&quot;error&quot; path=&quot;/viewoperations.jsp&quot;/>
</action>

I still get the same error. any other ideaas?

thanks!

>is there another form bean named &quot;operationForm&quot; ?
there is only one operationForm(I renamed it to operationsForm.

never mind. fixed it. I created a new action-mapping called
GetOperations and map it to the ActionForm. Still, I don't think the &quot;View&quot; keyword has anything to do with it.

My Struts knowledge is getting rusty now. I think i better reread mr. goodwill's book again.
