Hi Sven,
At as guess, you are not putting the form back into scope, try something
like this in your findEntity action...
if (mapping.getName() != null)
{
if ("request".equals(mapping.getScope()))
{
request.setAttribute(mapping.getName(), form);
}
else
{
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
session.setAttribute(mapping.getName(), form);
}
}
This is a generic solution to putting forms into a scope defined in your
mapping, it assumes that the form name defined in the mapping is the form
used by the action you are forwarding to; if this isn't the case, explicitly
put the form into either the request or session scope under the appropriate
key (ie the form name as defined in your struts-config).

Subject: change an Actionform
Hi,
this is relative fundamental, but I haven't seen an answer in any
documentation or tutorial.
My Question is 'How can I change the Actionform in an Action?'
Description:
I do a request to findEntity.do and submit a SearchEntityForm.
With the values in it I try to find an entity in the backend and, on
success, forwarding to editEntity.jsp which is using the EditEntityForm.
I tried this:
aValue = (SearchEntityForm) form;
dataobjekt = EntityFassade.findByValue(aValue);
// Change the Type of the form-object
form = new EditEntityForm();
form.setAnotherValue(dataobjekt.getAnotherValue());
result is:
The typechange works but has no Data in it.
All I see is an empty form in editEntity.jsp
My struts-config looks like this:
<action path="/findEntity.do"
type="FindEntityAction"
name="SearchEntityForm"
scope="request"
input="/SearchEntity.jsp"
validate="true" >
<forward name="failure" path="/SearchEntity.jsp" />
<forward name="success" path="/EditEntityForm.jsp" />
</action>
I'm using Struts 1.1beta1
Thanks in advance
Sven
