Greetings!! I understand what you are saying. However, I was thinking that it might be possible to pre-populate the ActionForms with a generic action class (not tied to any particular form) and put them in the current session. The following is an excerpt from "Mastering Jakarta Struts" that supports my idea.
" if the sesion already includes an instance of the ActionForm named by the <form> element's name attribute, then the values stored in its data members will be used to prepopulate the input values. " If anyone else have any opinions on this please don't be afraid to comment :-) Thanks in advance, Curtney Jacobs On Friday 29 November 2002 12:24 pm, Sven Frederik Pohl wrote: > Hi Curtney, > > The forms could only be populated if the form data is send via the HTTP > request. that only happens if the there is only one enclosing HTML form. > Since (as far as I know) the <html:form> Tag is bound to exact one HTML > form, I don't think that this is possible.
