What does the <action> element in struts-config.xml, for this Action, look like? In particular, if you don't specify a "name" attribute to identify the relevant form bean, then Struts will assume that this Action doesn't need a form bean, and won't create/populate one for you. I guess it is not clear what "it has no content" really means. > * After the business layer has finished, I put the form in the request as > follows > SignalSelectForm currentForm = (SignalSelectForm)form; > request.setAttribute(StrutsCXConstants.CURRENTFORM, currentForm); > and then forward it to a servlet. > ---- Problem ends here ---- > * The servlet then gets the form using the *exact* same CURRENTFORM, and > then processes the form in *exactly* the same way as the business layer does > (it is the same code) but it gets the data out. > > Any ideas?? > > Cheers, and thanks again for the comments, > > Simon > Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
