javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The path of an ForwardConfig cannot be null

Question

I am getting

javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The path of an    ForwardConfig cannot be null 

In struts 1.2 for <hmtl :error> when my form bean class validate method returns error object of ActionErrors class.

Solution

Ideally this Exception is encountered when you don't specify a path,validate and input in struts-config.xml. We need to specify where to be forwarded, in case of a failure.

<action path="/somePath"
       name="someForm"
       type="SomeActionClass"
       validate="true"
       input="/some.jsp">
    <forward name="success" path="/some.jsp"></forward>
</action>
