i error:

javax.servlet.jsp.jspexception: no getter method property: "firstname" of bean: "org.apache.struts.validator.dynavalidatorform"     @ org.apache.struts.taglib.tagutils.lookup(tagutils.java:915)     @ org.apache.struts.taglib.html.basefieldtag.preparevalue(basefieldtag.java:126)     @ org.apache.struts.taglib.html.basefieldtag.renderinputelement(basefieldtag.java:102)     @ org.apache.struts.taglib.html.basefieldtag.dostarttag(basefieldtag.java:80)     @ org.apache.jsp.login_jsp._jspx_meth_html_005ftext_005f1(login_jsp.java:1095)     @ org.apache.jsp.login_jsp._jspx_meth_html_005fform_005f1(login_jsp.java:1040)     @ org.apache.jsp.login_jsp._jspservice(login_jsp.java:759)     @ org.apache.jasper.runtime.httpjspbase.service(httpjspbase.java:70)     @ javax.servlet.http.httpservlet.service(httpservlet.java:717) 

in struts-config.xml file tage used:

<form-bean name="sendcontactform" type="org.apache.struts.validator.dynavalidatorform">             <form-property name="firstname" type="java.lang.string" initial="firstname"/>             <form-property name="lastname" type="java.lang.string" initial="lastname"/>             <form-property name="emailaddress" type="java.lang.string" initial="email"/>             <form-property name="subject" type="java.lang.string" initial="subject"/>             <form-property name="comments" type="java.lang.string" initial="comments"/>         </form-bean> 

and also:

<action path="/sendcontactform" attribute="sendcontactform" input="/login.jsp"             name="sendcontactform" scope="request"  parameter="reqcode"             type="org.springframework.web.struts.delegatingactionproxy" validate="true">             <forward name="sendcontacts" path="/login.jsp"/>         </action> 

in actionform have:

public class contactaction extends dynavalidatoractionform {      private static logger log = logger.getlogger(contactaction.class);   public actionforward sendcontactform(actionmapping mapping, actionform form,             httpservletrequest req, httpservletresponse resp) throws exception {             log.debug("contactform--start");   dynavalidatoractionform sendcontactform = (dynavalidatoractionform) form; actionmessages messages = new actionmessages();  string firstname = ((string) sendcontactform.get("firstname")); string lastname = ((string) sendcontactform.get("lastname")); string emailaddress = ((string) sendcontactform.get("emailaddress")); string subject = ((string) sendcontactform.get("subject")); string comments = ((string) sendcontactform.get("comments")); return mapping.findforward("sendcontacts"); 

in jsp file have:

    <html:form action="/sendcontactform.do?contactcd=sendcontactform" method="post" styleid="sendcontactform">     <c:set var="sendcontactform" value="${sendcontactform}" />      <html:errors/>                       <label for="firstname">first name  <span class="asterisk">*</span>         </label>             <html:text styleid="firstname" property="firstname" styleclass="form-control tip required"  name="sendcontactform" />            <label for="lastname">last name  <span class="asterisk">*</span>         </label>         <html:text styleid="lastname" property="lastname" styleclass="form-control tip pplaceholder" name="sendcontactform"/>            <label for="emailaddress">email address  <span class="asterisk">*</span>         </label>         <html:text styleid="emailaddress" property="emailaddress" styleclass="form-control tip pplaceholder"  name="sendcontactform" />           <label for="subject">subject  <span class="asterisk">*</span>         </label>         <html:text styleid="subject" property="subject" styleclass="form-control tip pplaceholder" name="sendcontactform"/>               <label for="comments">comments  <span class="asterisk">*</span>         </label>         <html:textarea styleid="comments" property="comments" styleclass="form-control tip pplaceholder" name="sendcontactform"></html:textarea>  </html:form> 

i have researched lot wasn't success yet.

so, what's wrong? thank you.

major update:

i tried out code changes mentioned here, , login page 5 fields getting displayed default initial values given in form-bean definition. there no errors in displaying page.

another thing note here login.jsp has no submit button , not submitting form, control never comes inside action class.

this login.jsp

the jars used

struts-taglib-1.3.10.jar,struts-core-1.3.10.jar,jstl-1.2.jar,commons-validator-1.3.1.jar, commons-logging-1.0.4.jar,commons-digester-1.8.jar,commons-chain-1.2.jar,commons-beanutils-1.8.0.jar,antlr-2.7.2.jar

the following tld's put inside web-inf

struts-bean.tld, struts-html.tld,struts-logic.tld

if have validation, validation.xml may present in web-inf

contactaction.java [in current case, control not come here]

public class contactaction extends action {      @override     public actionforward execute(actionmapping mapping, actionform form,             httpservletrequest req, httpservletresponse resp) throws exception {          dynavalidatorform sendcontactform = (dynavalidatorform) form;         actionmessages messages = new actionmessages();          string firstname = ((string) sendcontactform.get("firstname"));         string lastname = ((string) sendcontactform.get("lastname"));         string emailaddress = ((string) sendcontactform.get("emailaddress"));         string subject = ((string) sendcontactform.get("subject"));         string comments = ((string) sendcontactform.get("comments"));         return mapping.findforward("sendcontacts");     } } 

previous edits usage of sendcontactform.get("firstname") correct, using dynavalidatorform.

the error action class extending wrong class.

public class contactaction extends dynavalidatoractionform 

this wrong. need extend action class ie:

public class contactaction extends action 

also, instead of

dynavalidatoractionform sendcontactform = (dynavalidatoractionform) form; 

use

dynavalidatorform sendcontactform = (dynavalidatorform) form; 

update: in action class,

what method name - sendcontactform ? there reason this?

public actionforward sendcontactform  

why don't change public actionforward execute
