Victor, Victor, Victor... you have to use the form passed int the action.
So you have to do
NameZoomFrm frm = (NameZoomFrm)form;
Then set the values. You don't do the session.setAttribute.

Subject: initial values to edit .... and then view save
I am trying to in my action, retreive data from a DB, and then send it
to the page for editing. (The page would then send it back to same
action to be saved to DB. Also, I would try to use same page and action
for insterts and validtaion later).
Only.... I can't get it to work. (looked in mail archives and Struts-simple)
What am I doing wrong? It will not even display the vales.... or if it
does, I can't see the edited values.
TIA,
Vic
