Error 500: Cannot find bean org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN in any scope

Thanks,

It sounds like your struts bean tag is not referenced in web.xml

Hi,

I get the same errors, but only in a specific case.I have a custom tag 'w.tag' which accepts dynamic attributes in variable 'steps'. 'steps' contains JSP fragments that contain html:text tags.

This is the relevant code for w.tag:
<html:form action="${action}" method="post">
${steps[step1]}
<html:submit>Button</html:submit>
</html:form>

And this is an example JSP fragment contained in 'steps':
<html:text property="map(${settingId})"/>
(this is part of another custom tag)

I get the 'cannot find bean .... in any scope' error. This is regardless of the scope I put the html:form in.

The error does not occur if I put the fragment directly in the w.tag (instead of ${steps[step1]}. So the struts configuration is ok. For parametrization I want to keep the dynamic attributes, so I cannot simply include the fragment in w.tag.

What could be the cause of this error?

Thanks!

In my case, the JSP fragments that are passed through jsp:attributes were parsed BEFORE w.tag was executed. Since w.tag creates the form, the form subelements are used outside of the scope of the form, which results in an error.

I decided to take the form outside of w.tag and nest w.tag inside the form.

make sure you include all the elements with in the form tag.
