Hi,
Yes I was not meaning because of dispatchaction..
I guess this happens with Action in general, due to the reason
That you mentioned...
Actually I have read (from struts in action I believe) that bean
Properties are reset between 'requests'
So URL -> dispatch -> JSP are actually two 'requests'.. you won't find
at stage 3 the same properties that u find on stage 1, unless ur form
has
session scope..
regards
marco

Subject: Re: DispatchAction / DynaValidatorForm / Upload best practice
I've just realised that Marco may be partially correct - but it's not
due to the dispatch action, it's due to the multipart request formbean.
Perhaps if you look in the archives for multi-part request, you'll find
some interesting stuff. I'm not sure at this point myself.
