Okay, so here is what you do. Use an strutshtml:link tag like this that references an
action instead of directly to the next jsp.
in page1.jsp
<strutshtml:link href="page2.do?parm=X">
page2
</strutshtml:link>
define this action in your struts-config file
<action path="/page2"
type="the name of your Action class"
name="page2form"
scope="whichever you want"
validate="false">
<forward name="success" path="/page2.jsp"/>
</action>
Then in your Action class simply get your parm with the request.getParameter( parm )
method and do your query and fill in the values for your page2form and forward with
success.
The only part of this that I am not real sure about is the ability to pass the parm on
the end of the <strutshtml:link href="page2.do?parm=X"> but I think that will work.

I feel like I am being really dense here...I must be missing something.
I understand that an action is executed after a submit (or am I wrong
here as well?). So what I want to do is this:
page1.jsp // This has a link to page2.jsp?parm=X
I have a form bean for page2 that should populate the form
before it is displayed. I need to use the parm value to do this
properly. So where do I place an action that will have access both to
the parameter and to the form bean?
Thanks again for all the help.
Bryan

If you are doing an initial display, are you not loading the form values
from within an Action? If so, request parameters are easily accessed as
the request is one of the parameters to your perform() method by using
the request.getParameter( paramName );

But what about the initial display? In order to populate the fields so
that the initial getXXX() calls will display the correct data, I need to
use a request parameter as a lookup key.
Thanks,
Bryan

Hi
You can just use the get set methods within a form, and use the validate
method to control what variables are filled in when. alternatively use
the action.perform method to check what parameters should be collected
when

Subject: ActionForm and request parameters
Morning -
Is there anyway to get access to the request parameters in an
ActionForm bean? I need one of the parameters to do a lookup so that I
can correctly populate the form.
Thanks,
Bryan
