If you're manually calling your formbean's "setter" methods then you'll need to then re-add the formbean to the session (or request or whatever scope you are using). I don't know what you're trying to do, but I've never manually called any such setter methods. They're usually called automatically when you submit a form to an Action class (i.e. the action-mapping element of struts-config tells Struts which formbean to populate for the specified action and what scope to give it).
I'd stick with request scope for formbeans, but it does not sound like you are using them in the conventional way - so maybe some more detail on what you're trying to do would help.

I don't know if this is good practice, but I wasn't having much luck with the request scope. In many of my action classes, if have to get a reference to my form bean to do some business logic processing. I do so by doing the following: MyFormBean mfb =3D (MyFormBean) form Then I call some methods.... mfb.setAlpha("beta"); mfb.setGamma("delta"); etc.. At this point do I need to explicitly re-add/reset the form bean by doing something like this: session.setAttribute(mapping.getAttribute(), mfb); Or does calling the methods automatically update the form bean thats in the session? <k> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
