Yes that's the way it works It does not matter in which scope the form is set 1. JSP submits the form 2. Struts goes to find one in the scope you told him 3. if it finds one, then it calls reset() (so to avoid having stale data), then populates it 4. it it doesn't find any form in the scope, then istantiates a new one then carries on This is because Struts doesn't know if the actionform it founds is being populated by a multiple-page form, or is simply a stale one. And this is why reset() takes httpServletRequest as parameter: so you can implement your own reset logic depending on your particular application flow -----Messaggio originale----- Da: ayouaa0a [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Inviato: domenica 16 maggio 2004 12.40 A: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Oggetto: RE: Maintaining form data across pages... Yes, that's what I want, I will give it a try. but what do u mean struts "always calls reset()" everytime it access the form, this is very strange, even the form is in session!!!!!! Plz domonstrate more, as far as I understood: 1- When a JSP submits a form. 2- Struts calls reset for the form. 3- Try to populate the form from the JSP controls, even it was in session. -----Original Message----- From: Andrea M [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2004 1:11 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: R: Maintaining form data across pages... Hi I'm not sure I've understood properly what you need What I understand is that you are trying to populate the same actionform using several pages. The problem is that struts *always calls reset()* every time it access the form. What you can do is making your pages set a flag in the request, so your form can know where it's called from. Reset() method takes httpServletRequest as parameter, so you can implement conditional logic there... sometimes like: public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) { // first time accessed so I can set everything to null if (request.getParameter("flag") == null) { // set all properties to null here } else if (request.getParameter("flag").equals("page1") { // set to null only properties not present in page1 } else if (request.getParameter("flag").equals("page2") { // set to null only properties not present in page2 } ... } -----Messaggio originale----- Da: Ayoub, Ashraf A [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Inviato: domenica 16 maggio 2004 11.58 A: Struts Users Mailing List Oggetto: Maintaining form data across pages... Dears, I am trying to setup a series of jsp pages (requestForm, confrimation jsp). I set the scope of my requestForm to "session" as to maintain the data across the various jsps, but I get it as if reset is called, after the confirmation page submits. What is the best way to maintain the request data across several jsp pages, speically I have lots of pages as step 1, step 2, step 3 before submiting the action, with different form beans.
