<snip> when the framed pages load, they do not have access to the form bean. </snip>
The issue here is that for each frame the browser will send a seperate independent request to the server - its NOT the same request! You will therefore need to consider other ways of providing the frames with the information they need. Maybe use a session scoped form and forward through an action such that each frames jsp ends up with the same instance? (be aware that each frame is also processed by its own thread serverside so you may need to consider synchronization issues and suchlike). btw: Depending what it is you are doing maybe frames arent really what you want? For example if your just using them to get a 'templating' effect you might be better off using single pages and doing that templating using Tiles? -----Original Message----- From: George Steimer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 28 October 2003 06:00 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Frames and IFrames in Stuts Hi, I am a relative newbie with struts and I am trying to utilize both frames and IFrames from within a struts web application. The application we are building has a form that submits to a jsp page that conatains a frameset. I am using the html:frame tag in the frameset, but when the framed pages load, they do not have access to the form bean. For the forward attribute of the frame, I have tried using both an action and a global forward, but neither works. Am I missing something? All I need to to is get the framed pages to read from the form bean that was submitted to the frameset jsp. Here is the source of the frameset JSP (excluding taglib declarations): <frameset name="testFrameset" cols="50%,*"> <html:frame frameName="frameLeft" forward="testFrameLeft" /> <html:frame frameName="frameRight" forward="testFrameRight" /> </frameset> Here is the global forwards section of the struts-config.xml: <global-forwards> <forward name="testFrameLeft" path="/testFrameLeft.jsp" /> <forward name="testFrameRight" path="/testFrameRight.jsp" /> </global-forwards> Also, the application we are building also utilizes iframes. I've searched the javadocs and a couple books, but I can't find a similar mechanism with struts. Is there a way to get request scoped parameters into the source of an Iframe? Any help is greatly appreciated!
