First off, thanks for the funky ASCII graphics and the reply. ;) What I find confusing is the SaveAAction --> EditBAction. Does SaveAAction simply instantiate EditBAction and then pass whatever data it needs? Doesn't struts think the current ActionForm is not BActionForm but AActionForm since that is the form that was declard in the struts-config.xml for that the very first Action we performed? My understanding is that the lifetime of an Action is jsp to servlet to jsp and during that Action the ActionForm declared for that Action is the only ActionForm that is valid. Are you saying that it is possible to change the type of ActionForm used after the first submit? Thanks for the book and website referrals. I had purchaed O'Reilly's Struts books but it's been very dissapointing. I'll take a look at Ted Husted's book. Thanks again Justin -- Justin F.
