Hey, great! Glad it worked. I guess i should clarify, however, that what i sent is *a* solution and not necessarily the only or best solution. :)
I haven't made the transition to Struts 1.1 yet, so there may be a more elegant way of solving this problem. Maybe one of the 1.1 gurus can chime in here. Regarding the choice between a large number of simple JSP vs a small number of complex ones, i'd recommend the former. If you haven't looked into Tiles yet to help you manage your presentation, you might give it a whirl--very cool stuff. chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Charles McClain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 11:57 AM > To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' > Subject: RE: Re-using JSP pages -- Follow-up > > > Thanks, Chris: > > I tested your proposed solution very quickly -- just printing out the > retrieved formName on my JSP -- and it does work. > > I'm surprised, though, that it isn't easier than that; it > seems that the > formName should be available via the bean:struts tag, or some similar > tag. > > Now I have to integrate the solution into my app. Like many > newcomers, > I'm wavering back and forth between having a large number of > very simple > JSPs, or a small number of more complex JSPs.
