Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null

Question

Hi,
          I have a page jsp which contains a form. This form contains an action
          towards (page.do ).
          I configured struts-config.xml file in whom I put a configuration of
          action ( type=xxx.pageAction ) but not form because I have not need of
          it.
          During the execution it show that it tries to instantiate a bean of form
          corresponding to a configuration of action and post this error message
          " Root causes of ServletException javax.servlet.jsp. JspException:
          Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null "
          Could you indicate to me where is the problem ?
          Here is my configuration :
          < html:form action = " page.do " method = " post " >
          </html:form >
          <action path="/page"
          type="xxx.pageAction">
          <forward name="show" path="/page.jsp"/>
          </action>
          Thanks in advance
          Rachid.

There's little reason to use Struts infrastructure to set this up since you have no model, and the controller aspect is well-defined (just go to "NewProject"!). You're basically providing a link from one page to another, akin to doing an <a href>, and you wouldn't use Struts to do a simple link :).
I would just just use standard HTML.
If you're okay with using Javascript, this is the simplest:
<input type="button" onClick="document.location='NewProject'">
Or you can use a standard HTML form, as you've basically done already:
<form action="NewProject" method="get">
<input type="submit" value="Create">
</form>
