I think it's best to populate the default form information in an ActionClass. So if I had an insertEmployee operation that required the user entering in the information but I wanted prepopulate a lot of the fields I'd have a link that first called a SetupEmployeeFormAction and would then forward to the jsp page for the user to enter the information. It gets a bit tricky when validation is involved and you are using request scope, but when you cross that bridge I like Robert Taylor's solution the best: <Robert Taylor post> "Rick, I usually define the setUpForm action URI as the input attribute of the processForm action element. That way if a validation error occurs the request is forwarded to the setUpForm action which repopulates the list and forwards to the page where my list is displayed along with the error message and the users input. Works for me and I don't have to place anything in the session." </end Robert Taylor Post> -- Rick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
