Hi, I usually do it within an action called to prepare a form I want to show. Instead of forwarding to FORM_B from ACTION_A processing the input from FORM_A I forward to ACTION_B_PREPARE setting up all FORM_B needs and then from there go to FORM_B. I can now add the contents of the collections for the dropdowns to the session. When I process FORM_B and realize that this form is completely processed I can remove the specigfic objects from the session.
I know there is some reluctance against this action-to-action forwarding, but I think it is an elegant solution to have an action per form (ACTION_B and ACTION_B_PREPARE can be united, called from 2 different action-mappings). I find that preparing the FORM_B-content in ACTION_A creates a dependency that does not please me... hope this helps Alexander -----Original Message----- From: Graham Lounder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Montag, 8.

Hell All, I'm having a small problem with loading my drop downs after a validation error (since my action is not being called again). It is recomended/good practice to load my drop downs in the reset method of the form? Is it possible? I would load them once my application starts, but I need to modify the list before it is displayed. Any Ideas?
