I don't know about "best way", but I usually set the default values in the
field's declaration:
public final class MakeACallForm extends ActionForm {
private String name = "George 'I Like War!' Bush";
private String telephoneNumber = "1-800-DA-WHITE-HOUSE";
... etc ...
... getters and setters for above ...
}

I think it's best to populate the default form information in an ActionClass. So if I had an insertEmployee operation that required the user entering in the information but I wanted prepopulate a lot of the fields I'd have a link that first called a SetupEmployeeFormAction and would then forward to the jsp page for the user to enter the information. It gets a bit tricky when validation is involved and you are using request scope, but when you cross that bridge I like Robert Taylor's solution the best: "Rick, I usually define the setUpForm action URI as the input attribute of the processForm action element. That way if a validation error occurs the request is forwarded to the setUpForm action which repopulates the list and forwards to the page where my list is displayed along with the error message and the users input. Works for me and I don't have to place anything in the session." -- Rick - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: What is the best method to set default values of a form?
If you look at the example that ships with struts you will see how the registration form is filled in with the data from the User record. The data isn't from a database, but an inmemory XML datastore. -Original Message- From: Jeff Kyser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 22, 2003 6:36 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: What is the best method to set default values of a form?

Sorry, but I have to read the data from the database.
