Error when using Struts on Tomcat:

Question

Dear all,
I am playing around with Struts a bit and after a long day of tweaking and bug-fixing I got stuck with the flollowing error:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot find bean termBean in any scope
     org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.doHandlePageException(PageContextImpl.java:848)
     org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.handlePageException(PageContextImpl.java:781)
     org.apache.jsp.TermView_jsp._jspService(org.apache.jsp.TermView_jsp:155)
     org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:97)
     javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)
     org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:322)
     org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:291)
     org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:241)
     javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)
     org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.doForward(RequestProcessor.java:1069)
     org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processForwardConfig(RequestProcessor.java:455)

     org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1482)
     org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doGet(ActionServlet.java:507)
     javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:689)
     javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)The relevant bit from the JSP page is this one (from TermView.jsp):
<logic:iterate id="tp"
        type="com.myStruts.entity.TermPair" name="termBean" property="list" >
        <tr>
            <td><bean:write name="tp" property="source" />
            <td><bean:write name="tp" property="target" />
            <td><bean:write name="tp" property="status" />
        </tr>
</logic:iterate>This is the relevant bit fron struts-config:
    <action
      type="ViewTermsAction"
      path="/term">
            <forward name="success" path="/TermView.jsp" />
    </action>The bean is set as a session attribute in this ActionForm here:
public class ViewTermsAction extends Action {
    private static final String ERR_POPULATE =
            "SQL error: can't populate dataset";
    public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
                                 ActionForm form,
                                 HttpServletRequest request,
                                 HttpServletResponse response) throws
            IOException,
            ServletException {
        DataSource dataSource = getDataSource(request);
        TermDb tdb = new TermDb();
        tdb.setDataSource(dataSource);
        try {
            tdb.populate();
        } catch (SQLException sqlx) {
            System.out.println(sqlx);
            getServlet().getServletContext().log(ERR_POPULATE, sqlx);
        request.setAttribute("termBean", tdb);
        return mapping.findForward("success");
}The application is meant to retrieve a list of term pairs from a DB and iterate over the list, displaying them to the user. Any idea what the problem here could be? Apparently, the JSP won't find the termBean. I created the code modifying stuff from here: http://www.manning.com/books/ford/source. Except that the code samples from that site work, mine doesn't.
Thanks a lot in advance for any help!
Best regards,
N.

I just tried:
substr(to_timestamp(svs_date, 'dd-mon-yy'),1,9)which crops it but then the interactive searches dont work again so its basically the same as Date. :(
