Hi Jay,
And Thanks. But if I understand struts correctly, the form you are casting
from is loginForm.
My struts-config.xml looks like:
<form-beans>
<form-bean name="mainForm" type="com.mainForm"/>
<form-bean name="loginForm" type="com.loginForm"/>
</form-beans>
<action input="/login.jsp" name="loginForm" path="/login"
type="com.loginAction" />
<action input="/main.jsp" name="mainForm" path="/mainAction"
type="com.mainAction" />
So the form in
public ActionForward perform(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, ...
is loginForm. I need a reference to mainForm.
Thanks,
Phil
