Form values are not submitting to ActionForm class

Question

Hi All,
I have a problem with <html:form> tag. When i am submitting the form using the submit button it is going to the Struts-config.xml file and getting the action mapping for the HazSummary.do. It is getting the HazardSummaryAction class and getting the input from HazardSummary Form class. If result is sucees it is going to the next jsp page.
All above things are happening properly. But the form values are not getting in to the HazardSummaryForm.jav.
Here in this case Action class is HazardSummaryAction.java, Action Form class is HazardSummaryForm.java and jsp page is Hazard.jsp.
Here is the code for Hazard.jsp
<html:form action="/HazSummary.do">
<table width="100%" border="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
     <tr colspan="4"><td>
     <%String jd="jmd";
     String st="closed";%>
     <input type="text" name="wkploc" value=<%=jd%>>
     <input type="text" name="hastat" value=<%=st%>>
<html:submit property="action">
<bean:message key="haz.save.label"/>
</html:submit>
     </td></tr>
</table>
</html:form></body>
Here is the code for HazardSummaryAction.java
package com.prospecta.WSOProject.action;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
import org.apache.struts.action.Action;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
public class HazSummaryAction extends Action{
     public String hazstatus;
     public String workplace;
     public String prin1;
     public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException
          HazardSummaryForm hsf = new HazardSummaryForm();
          HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
     try{
     hazstatus=hsf.gethastat();
     System.out.println(hazstatus);
     workplace=hsf.getwkploc();
     System.out.println(workplace);
     session.setAttribute("stat",hazstatus);
     session.setAttribute("loc",workplace);
     return mapping.findForward("success");
     catch(NullPointerException nex){
          return mapping.findForward("failure");
          }catch(Exception e)
     e.printStackTrace();
     return mapping.findForward("failure");
Here is the code for HazardSummaryForm.java
package com.prospecta.WSOProject.action;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
public class HazardSummaryForm extends ActionForm {
     public String wkploc;
     public String hastat;
     public void setwkploc(String wkploc)
          this.wkploc=wkploc;
     public String getwkploc()
          return this.wkploc;
     public void sethastat(String hastat)
          this.hastat=hastat;
     public String gethastat()
          return this.hastat;
Here is the code for Struts-config.xml file
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.1//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd">

     <set-property property="pathnames" value="/WEB-INF/validator/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/validator/validations.xml"/>
     </plug-in>
</struts-config>
i followed the same process for previous pages which they are working. But in this case it was not working properly.
Please resolve this problem ....................

Hi Sreelatha,
When you develop any interactive form please keep in mind the below things which you need to check:
1. The layout type of the form should be ZCI. Select it from the form properties tab in SFP t-code.
2. In web dynpro application (in case you are using for the form), the form type should be selected as native.
3. In the form layout insert web dynpro script using menu->utilities->insert web dynpro script.
4. After that come out of the form and run the report FP_ZCI_UPDATE giving your form name, also select the update check box in the report.
Once these things are done your form should work fine.
