Have you closely examined the struts-example webapp? It does exactly
what you're talking about. Search the archives for 'pre-populate form'
and variations, it's a common topic.
Once your user is logged in, I'm guessing you are putting something in
session scope. In your Action, you can call
session.getAttribute("userName") and use that to retrieve the values
from wherever they are stored. Then pre-populate the ActionForm and
forward to the 'edit' page.
I would not put user info in a hidden field on the form. It would make
it easier for someone to impersonate another user. (Depends on how
sensitive your data is whether that's an issue.)
