Hi,
I'm new to struts and am having a weird problem. I've researched a lot and talked to a lot of developers and I still have a problem. The problem is as follows.
I am getting the following error when deploying my ear file on weblogic8.1:
<BEA-101216> <Servlet: "action" failed to preload on startup in Web application: "bpa".

Now, when looking at the struts-config file, everything seems fine. However, when i remove the <form-bean> declarations, i don't get this error. Of course, without the form-bean declarations, the application comes to a halt when it needs them. I've tried almost everything under the sun and nothing has worked so far, i'm sure it's probably something simple and i'll feel like a complete idiot when it's figured out, but until then, can anyone help???
The config file looks as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

This application was originally designed using JBuilder, but now i'm migrating it to Eclipse.
Also, i tried to change the path to one of the form-beans to something that didn't exist, just to see what error i got, and it didn't do anything.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Osireion.
