Hi, When one Struts action forwards to another Struts action, and the first action was invoked by a form post, is it correct behavior that the RequestProcessor.processPopulate method is called when the second action is processed? It seems to me that the form should only be populated from the request parameters during the initial action, and not by each subsequent action.
The current behavior causes me problems because I manually set some values into the form in the first Struts action, and then forward to the second action to save the form to a database. The problem is, when the second action is processed, the initial form values are set back into the form, overwriting the changes made in the first action. I was able to work around this problem by extending RequestProcessor.processPopulate and checking for a custom property on the action mapping which determines if the form should be populated or not. This works, however it seems to me that the real problem is that Struts populates the form for each Struts action that is being forwarded to. Thanks, Denis
