My SearchAction is pretty dumb. Here is my execute method. However, this
forwards to my search.jsp which submits to SearchResultsAction...is this the
right way to do it? Essentially I the result of an Action to Submit to
another Action, etc.
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException {
// default target to success
String target = "success";
ArrayList strainTypes = getStrainTypes(request);
// set the target to failure if we could not retrieve the strain types
if (strainTypes == null) {
target = "error";
} else {
// put all the servers in the request
request.setAttribute("strainTypes", strainTypes);
}
// forward to the appropriate View
return (mapping.findForward(target));
}

Your input points to search.do/SearchAction. It's possible that
SearchAction is
resetting the values of the form. Does it know when to leave the form
values
alone because it's only being called due to a redisplay of a poppulated
input
form?
