Here's what you are trying to do index.jsp -> redirects to index.do -> needs to build a bunch'o forms -> forwards to home.jsp
Am I understanding you correctly? The action corresponding to the path "index" can create any number of form-beans and persist them in any scope before forwarding to home.jsp. Now home.jsp, has several <html:form>s; which implicitly means that it expects several form-beans. These are available courtesy the aforementioned action. Where are you running into a problem?

But I just want to run something by this list, see if I am going about it in the right way. When you are designing an application, and the index page has several mini-forms (such as a limited search, a login and maybe a site index) the first page has to be a *.do page. So I figured, make an index.jsp page with <logic:redirect page="/index.do"/> Then my /index action would prepare the forms and display /home.jsp. The FAQ talks about putting the form population in the Action class for the /index action, which works great... ...except, how would you populate more than one form? Seems like in the cast you limit yourself to the form defined in the action mapping. Would it be necessary to just set up an action chain?
