Hi, the "100% pure Strust" way could to write a index-page that automatically passes control (redirect-meta-tag) to an action, which could call the model to populate the collection, stuff it into the request and forward control to a suitable jsp-page. If you supply a link to start the app from the "outside" you can omit the index-page-redirect and immediately supply the action-url...
Alternatively, leave the setup-code in the servlet and enter the traditional Struts-way of doing from the index-page on. Struts allows this kind of mix-and-match, which is one of the most important features (in my opinion). hope this helps Alexander -----Original Message----- From: Roshan Paiva [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Dienstag, 16.

Previously what i had done was, in a servlet first populated a collection by calling a Manager class, then setting the collection in a request object, and then forwarding it to the index page which will get the collection from the request object and then populate the table. Could you pls help me out and tell me the best way to implement that using the struts framework.
