I actually ran into a similar problem for some dropdown lists. It turns out that for my application, the information needed in the drop down list could be safely (and probably appropriately) moved into the application scope. So, you could consider simply moving the information into a longer persistance scope (such as session). However, I would question what you are using the databean for. The vast majority of the data needed in a form page should come straight off of the formBean. Struts handles the preservation of those for you. What other sort of information are you hoping to preserve? Is it specific to this incarnation of this page, or would every page that looks like this use it? (In my case, that was the answer. This information was used by every page that had this input field, so I decided to put it in application scope to save trips to the database as well as keep me from having to jump hoops.) -josh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
