Hi,
   Aren't form beans reused ? I thought only the reset is called.
Thanks,
Mohan

Is your action scope set to session or request?  I would guess
it's set to session.  I believe if you set it to request, your form
bean will be created on each request.

 Subject: Don't want the ActionForm to refill my form.
 
 
 I want to add data records using a jsp.
 When the user entered the data, and hits submit, an actions adds the
 data record to the database.
 When this is done, it forwards to the same page again, so 
 that the user
 can add more data records.
 
 The problem is that the form gets filled by the ActionForm again, when
 forwarding.
 That's a bit confusing for a user who simply wants to add new 
 data, but
 he gets shown the old data he just entered.
 
 Any ideas how to prevent the Actionform from refilling the form on the
 jsp ?
 
 
 thx,
 
 marcus

Re-initialize the form-bean to the way it was when the page was first invoked.  If 
form was all blank fields, you can simply delete the form bean; it'll get re-created.

2002-11-05 Thread Robert Taylor 
Redirect instead of forward. You can do this in your struts-config.xml file
for your action by setting the redirect attribute of the forward element to
true; or, if you are manually creating the forward, the constructor takes a
boolean which indicates a redirect instead of a forward.

Can you clarify?  You say the form been will get re-created, yet I have this
code in my Action:

if ( form == null ) {
 form = (ActionForm) session.getAttribute( contactForm );
 if ( form == null ) {

form = new ContactForm();
 }
 if ( request.equals( mapping.getScope() ) ) {
request.setAttribute( mapping.getAttribute(), form );
 } else {
session.setAttribute( mapping.getAttribute(), form );
 }
  }

This came straight from EditSubscriptionAction in the struts-example webapp.
It doesn't look to me like the form bean gets re-created, it looks like I
have to do it myself.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

When a request is submitted, the ActionServlet matches the request URI against the 
known action mappings.  If there is an associated form-bean then it'll look for an 
ActionForm with the given name.  If one isn't found, it will be created.
