(pre)populating DynaActionForm

[Danko Desancic]

I am newbie to Struts and have a problem with  populating 
DynaActionForm. I have two actions: one to set up userForm and one to 
process it. 1st one is suposed to grab user info and populate the form. 
The second one updates user info after the form is submitted. The 
problem is that the from is not populated. Moreover changing the scope 
to "session" in action "/user/setUp"  results in form being populated 
with appropriate data. What am I doing wrong in here?

Thanks
Danko

<form-bean name="userForm"

           <form-property name="userName" type="java.lang.String"/>
