I had this problem alot when I was developing a management system. For example, on my DeleteConfirmation pages, I wanted to show all the info for the entity I was erasing (for example, a User). So how I set that up was 2 actions in my struts-config:
<action input="whatever" name="userForm" type="com.example.DeleteUserForward"> <forward name="continue" path="/deleteUser.jsp" /> </action>
<action input="/deleteUser.jsp" name="userForm" type="com.example.DeleteUserAction"> <forward name="success" path="/listUsers.do" redirect="true" /> <forward name="failure" path="/deleteUser.jsp" /> </action>
So the idea here is that your first action is a pretty plain action that looks like this:
execute()
{
UserForm userForm = (UserForm)form;
userForm.setXXX;
...
userForm.setXXX;
request.setAttribute("userForm", userForm);
return mapping.findForward("continue");
}and when you get the JSP page, your userForm has been populated with all the necessary info.
Hope this helped, Riyad

Hello!
I want to display a JSP when a user clicks on a link on a previous page. The JSP has a form that must be populated with data before being displayed for the first time. How can I populate the form before showing it?
