hi, I did a little cut and paste with the example struts-config and came up with the following.
<!-- First Test--> <action path="/test/firstTest" type="mil.army.mtmc.tops.twc.business.test.FirstTestAction" attribute="firstTestForm" scope="request" validate="false"> <forward name="success" path="/test/FirstTest.jsp"/> </action> .... I was chasing after ghosts all afternoon and night trying to find out why my form bean was not showing up.... finally, after about three dozen System.out.println lines in ActionServlet, RequestProcessor, ApplicationConfig. etc, I found that the formbean config mapping wants to use a getName() . So I added the following to struts-config after the "'attribute="firstTestForm"' name="firstTestForm" ... and everything came up roses.... my happy little form is now sitting nice and pretty in my request scope... So what's the diff between "attribute" and "name". Especially since (I seem to recall) that the getAttribute will return "name" if "attribute" is null. Sorry about not checking the archive before sending this out... but it is after 1:00 AM and if I don't ask now I'll probably forget to look. -Tony --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Y!
