Mmmhh... Strange question indeed... With <html:form method="GET"> you could deliberately set that every form parameters are added to the action url. GET will URL encode the parameters from your form... So an <input type="text" name="testfield"> will become ?testfield=value in your URL... So really, why should you want to trigger (again) in the <html:form> tag? Yoo can already if you use "GET". The only thing is that <html:form> sets the method to "POST" by default... So you usually won't "see" the form parameters in the URL. But for the form processing servlets that's transparent how the parameters are transfered. > > My question is: Why?

Then you will see "all" your form fields encoded into URL parameters. But except making links bookmarkable there's hardly any reason to use GET, IHMO.
