I need to support a muilti-page wizard in popup browsers, meaning multiple browser instances sharing one session. I can't store the ActionForm at request scope, since it's a multi-page wizard. It must be stored at session scope. Since there's multiple active browser instances, their information would overwrite other instances data.
It seems as though Struts does not support this. I searched FAQs and archives, and posted to the user list but there were no replies. Now, I'm looking into modifying the source to support this. From my user list email: > I have also considered using Struts 1.1, and overriding > RequestUtils.createActionForm(...), which is called by > RequestProcessor.processActionForm(...), and looking for some instance id > field for the form.

I'm thinking I could add code to the <html:form> tag to put > the id in the form as a hidden input, but I haven't gotten that far yet. Is this a feasible approach? Is there a better way? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Regards, John ----- Original Message ----- From: "John D.
