The way to associate a form bean with an action mapping is through the "name" attribute in the <action> element. > 3.

That said, the implementation uses a HashMap to store form beans. Hence, the last one wins. > 4. I am guessing that - the message resource that gets picked up by > the validator, is the same message resource that gets picked up by > something like <bean:write> in the same application (modularized or > not modularized)? Just need to check. > Yes. It is the same message resource. > That's all so far :) > Thanks in advance. > > Ying > > __________________________________________________________________ > The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.
