           Summary: ActionForm should not be populated automatically [Struts
                    Classic 1.x]
           Product: Struts
           Version: Unknown
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Action
        AssignedTo: dev@struts.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Whenever a request is submitted to an Action, a corresponding ActionForm is
always populated, despite the type of request or despite of whether request
contains Cancel event or not. This brings a lot of problems related to
refreshing the same page, or forwarding to another action, or accepting invalid
input when Cancel was activated.

For compatibility reasons, autopopulation of an ActionForm should be kept by
default, but it should be possible to turn it off either on application level
using <controller> element or on action level using <action> element, or both.

Struts allows to perform validation explicitly, the same should be allowed for
form population. A developer knows better when to accept the input and when not 
to.
