Re: Form over multiple pages
I can think of a couple of options - 1) Use the browser back button :-) 2) Could you perhaps make your back button an button. This way validation won't be performed. Your action class should check for cancel. - isCancelled(request) - and "somehow" forward to the previous page. Cheers, Paul C Gregory F.

Re: Form over multiple pages
Is there a way or a reason why I might want to do this with the DynaActionForm and subclass DynaAction Form Class so that I can overiride the reset method?? What do you think?

RE: Form over multiple pages
On additional note, since not all properties are visible on all pages , you will want to implement conditional logic in your forms reset() method (and validate as mentioned by Paul) to only reset those properties that were on the page just submitted otherwise you will lose values for the earlier pages! (Resetting is only really required for checkboxes, multiple select fields, and textareas though) since these are the types for which nothing is submitted if nothing is selected/entered. -Original Message- From: Paul Curren [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 29 May 2003 20:02 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Form over multiple pages Hi there, Just create your form bean with all the properties you are concerned with.
