Answer 1

Error 400: Request[/editRecordsAction] does not contain handler parameter named

this error message lets me think the link should have looked like:

/editRecordsAction.do?parameter=OneOfYourForwardNames

dispatch actions require a httprequest parameter be passed in, and the name of the required parameter is the name you type in your struts mapping. in your case 'parameter'. the form's action is not giving editRecordsAction what it needs is my best guess...

hope this helps,

Your problem is found here"

<html:form action="/editRecordsAction?parameter=editSupViewAction">

You forgot to add the .do (or whatever servlet mapping you have) to your action.

Here's the solution:

<html:form action="/editRecordsAction.do?parameter=editSupViewAction">
