Re: text field not populating after validate() fails.
Hi, Ok I will read Rick's article. Right now situation is bit different (I'm sure most of junior developers face more or less same situation). As for me, I've certain deadline to achieve the functionality, which I have achieved by just setting scope=session. Now as Rick said: "(nothing wrong with using the Session either but personally I don't think you should use the Session for storing lists for form dropdowns.) " At this stage, I'm more curious about the difference b/w two approaches. Which one is more effecient (in terms of performance), reliable and scalable. So that I can adopt the right approach for future struts based development. Thanks guys for discussing this topic. Bye, Viki.

Did you read this article I posted? http://www.reumann.net/struts/articles/request_lists.jsp Not trying to avoid the question, but I mention it there in better detail in the first paragraph. You shouldn't need to use the Session to store those lists if you read that article (nothing wrong with using the Session either but personally I don't think you should use the Session for storing lists for form dropdowns.) -- Rick
Re: text field not populating after validate() fails.
H, Rahul: The pull-down menus are prepopulated using the session. For pull-down menus, I'm using the same approach as Rick used in "LESSON II - 9 - Create SetUpEmployeeAction". You can see here: http://www.reumann.net/struts/lesson2/step9.do Rick: I've change the "scope" in struts-config from "request" to "session" and it is working fine now. But question is, why it is not working with scope=request? Bye, Viki.

This is a classic problem and it is why I recommend you call your validation manually from your Action class.

Re: text field not populating after validate() fails.
Actually I'm using a javascript which needs to define form name. And in struts, when you define form name it is mandatory to define type too. I just change the "scope" in struts-config from "request" to "session" and it is working fine now. But question is, why it is not working with scope=request? Bye, Viki.

Re: text field not populating after validate() fails.
You shouldn't need either name or type, Struts will derive both from the configuration. Since you say that's working OK for you, why are you trying to add them? L.

The form takes all the required input fields from user, validate them and if validation fail's, the same form is called with pre-populated values (as entered 1st time by user). This is true when there is NO form "name" and "type" is given in form tag. But when I give form "name" and "type" in form tag, only pull-down menus are populated if validation fails. Whereas, text field, text area and radio buttons are not pre-poulated. I'm not sure what is going wrong here??
