Ok Eddie .. thanks. My question now is, the 'act' of populating the LableValuesBeans ( in the form ) is now split out into two spots. 1) The data I retrieve from the backend gets populated in the form 2) The action form fills in 1 value for the "none" selection.
Does this seem strange? Should 1) be done in the action rather then encapsulated in the form? Let me know if I'm not being clear. Thanks Eddie. -----Original Message----- From: Eddie Bush [mailto:ekbush@;swbell.net] Sent: October 18, 2002 3:39 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: access ApplicationResource from ActionForm You do not have access to any resources in ActionForm. The form is just there to act as a conduit for data - something for it to pass through - like electricity passes through a wire. In that case, the electricity would represent your data and the wire would be your form. Notice that a wire does not change the state of the electricity. The proper place to do this is in an Action class. Action has a getResources method (a few different signatures I believe, actually). This is where you would get that data. You could then set some property of your form accordingly.
