Here's another possibility. In the action that forwards to frameset-page.jsp,
create a Map (or Maps) containing the request parameters you want submitted to
the topFrame and bottomFrame actions. Save this Map as a request attribute.
Then, in frameset-page.jsp:
<frameset framespacing="0" rows="50,*,">
<html:frame action="/topFrame"
name="paramMap"
frameborder="1"
frameName="top-frame"/>
<html:frame action="/bottomFrame"
name="paramMap"
frameborder="1"
frameName="bottom-frame"/>
</frameset>
If the parameters you want to propogate are already contained in an action form,
you could use either BeanUtils.describe of DynaActionForm.getMap to create the
Map for you.
Quoting George Steimer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
