Why don't you create a method that gets whatever data you need to populate the form and call it from the DispatchAction methods that need it?

Before a page is called, I prepopulate a combo box with values from a database. When validation (dynaforms validate) finds errors on the form the bean that prepopulated the combo box is not in the request scope anymore. This was initially solved by placing the action that sets up the form as the input to the action that was called next. But, this fails when I move the setupAction to be part of the DispatchAction, which is involved with PageOne and PageTwo of my form, because then the input to the Action is the Action itself. This results in constant calls to the same Action and no page being displayed. Is there a way to acheive this or do I have to move my setup to a separate action?
