Perhaps you're using, and looking at, the wrong version of the tag? If you are using the struts-form taglib, you should be aware that that is obsolete. You should be using the struts-html taglib instead. The source for the <html:form> tag in Struts 1.0 is here:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-struts/src/share/org/apache/struts/tag lib/html/FormTag.java?rev=1.13&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup As you can see, the bean is being saved in request scope. Including JSP pages with form elements inside a form does work with Struts 1.0. I have a shipping product that makes use of it. -- Martin Cooper ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tahir Awan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2001 12:56 PM Subject: RE: struts-tags - long form problem > > I tried to break my long-form like below. > <html:form action="whatever"> > <jsp:include page="part1.jsp" flush="true"/> > <jsp:include page="part2.jsp" flush="true"/> > </html:form> > But could not succeed.
