I am setting up a struts project and have been following an online tutorial at:
http://javaboutique.internet.com/tutorials/Struts/to get started. But my action forwarding is not working. When the submit button is pressed on the submit.jsp page (all code is below) submit.do appears in the browser but a blank page comes up - it should be reloading the same page with the updated javabean info. Any ideas anyone?
