Try adding name="userEditForm" to the <action> tag above. That will cause Struts to instantiate the form bean before it calls the execute method. You've said that you don't think the form bean gets instantiated until you submit the form, but that's not a true statement. Another design idea is to consolidate these two Actions into one. With LookupDispatchAction, the execute method uses a request parameter (can be a form field, hidden or otherwise, or tacked onto the URL) to determine which method within the Action to call. Or you can do it yourself in the execute method, programmatically determining what needs to happen based on the presence or absence of things in the request. It also looks like you could benefit from Tiles, but one thing at a time. :) -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
