As you may know, traditionally, you have an html:form in your JSP like so:






If you saved a bean named "user" in request or session scope, you can access
its property "firstName" from any JSP with many of the bean/html taglib
commands such as:




Using the above, I've done the unthinkable. I have created a page that
has the html:form tag, then includes different "center" (I use tiles to do
this) JSP pages based on a Tiles controller. Then, each page uses the
html:text with name="anyScopedBeanName" to show particular fields from ANY
of the stored beans I choose to show. It works well with multi-page
validation schemes.

Thanks, David. Could you please give a simple example to explain how to
"specify another bean"?

If you want to display something form the session object stored with
"Constants.USER_KEY" in /search.jsp (your "success" forward), you don't need
to copy the values in your Action's execute() method. Just specify another
bean (in any scope) with the 'name="User"' attribute/value pair. Of course,
you'll have to change "User" to the actual string defined by
"Constants.USER_KEY". This works for many tags in the "bean" and "html"
taglibs.

Happy new year!
Since I posted this problem before Christmas and didn't get answer, I post
it again.
. I have such action mapping:

The code in the "PopulateAction" class is:

I want to populate "SearchForm" with some existed values(stored in

It works well when I use the mapping code shown above. But when I take
out the line -- scope="request", that is, I want this form bean to be a

It seems a new form bean object was created after "execute" method of

Any idea anyone?

T.T.,

If you want to display something form the session object stored with
"Constants.USER_KEY" in /search.jsp (your "success" forward), you don't need
to copy the  values in your Action's execute() method.  Just specify another
bean (in any scope) with the 'name="User"' attribute/value pair.  Of course,
you'll have to change "User" to the actual string defined by
"Constants.USER_KEY".   This works for many tags in the "bean" and "html"
