(This is just an helper for the viewer, it can even be a filter) The input for the save action is the second action or the jsp page if you use a filter.

I think it's right, I think it's right only in simple cases If your "prepare" means: - Putting in the request a collection for a select (for example) - Initializing the form with data from DB or any other source You are doing 2 things completely different (logically) in the same action and that's why you need a workaround with hidden fields or hard coded path or The cleanest solution is to separate this "prepare" action in 2 actions. Too much? OK! Choose any other way you like! But it won't be "clean". - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
