Mark,
Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the action attribute in the <html:form> tag is a run time expression, so there's no need to extend the FormTag class in order to use a dynamic form action.
Regards Jose

I just wanted to pass on a tidbit that might help one or two people out there.
I have a search page that displays the results with checkboxes. There are two or three different places that i use this same search page, so rather than writing or copying the search results jsp page to several copies (to allow me to post the form thats on the results page to a different forward definition) i made a modifiecation to struts.
In the FormTag.java I added some code to peek in the formbean for a property called "formaction". If it finds one, it uses this new action instead of the hard coded one in the jsp page.
Thus, in my action class i do this:
MyBean myBean=(MyBean)actionForm;
myBean.setFormaction("/Some/other/url"); return mapping.findforward("default");
now i have a jsp page which i can reuse its functionality in several places in my code.
I had thought about using a hidden field, but the problem really stems from the statically coded form action="/Url" part. Since struts doesnt allow us much flexibility here by default, I decided to add my own and it works great!
Regards, Mark
