You got it. /bonk me The validate() method was producing errors since no form data had yet been set (as the form hadn't even been presented to the user).
I added an "action=" parameter to the calling query so when the page is called with "action=display" it ignores error checking. Subsequent callbacks (when the user submits the form) have no action set so my ActionForm will validate. It also allows me to perform any kind of initialization on the form from within action servlet when the action=display. I didn't notice the errors occurring at first since the <html:errors/> tag wasn't functioning properly and wasn't displaying any errors. I swear it was working before the designers applied their template to the jsp page. 8) ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 2:49 PM Subject: re: prepopulating, initializing and securing a form > Are you sure that your validate() method is not causing you to bounce back > to your input page?
