Greetings!!
I have solved the problem, quite simple really.
I was not associating the ActionForm instance to the form bean declared in my
struts-config.xml file.
However, I would like a cleaner approach to doing the association. Currently,
I have the following in my generic action class:
request.getSession().setAttribute("StudentForm", sForm);
request.getSession().setAttribute("GuardianForm", gForm);
Thanks in advance,
Curtney Jacobs
