Hmm not sure why you want to do that.. If you are asking as to how step 2 takes place then this is how I do it.. In my definition of the form bean I have my value object as a parameter with the corresponding get and set methods. In my get method for the value object, I copy the form bean properties to the value object and in the set method, I copy the properties from the value object to the form bean. So in your action class that initialises the form bean, set your value object in the form bean. This should now give you the form bean that is associated with the page that user needs to modify.

Create a value object that encapsulates the data once the user logs in. 2. Create a form bean that captures this data from the value object. 3. Modify struts config to assocaite this form with the action on the modify page. I think thats it... -----Original Message----- From: Arnaud Gadby [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 12:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Initializing formBeans Hi ! I'm a newbie with struts and I cannot find the right way to do a simple thing like this : I would like to create an HTML form to modify the user information I recorded in my database. I didn't find how to initialize my form on a user-basis (the userId is stored in the session).
