This is somewhat typical.

Not sure what you mean here, but if I understand you correctly, you don't do work in jsps. >For mine, every page will need some > sort of initialization, and then the page is submitted > to itself and do the process. Nope, no submitting to itself in struts land :) All processing is done in actions. > Second, my form all have confirm page, that is after > the form submitted, goesto a page show all the > inofrmation user just entered, and it have edit and > submit button, does this page needs a form too? What you're looking for is: ShowFormAction->form.jsp->SubmitAction->confirmation.jsp->FinalSubmitAction->some.jsp If you don't want to do this in two actions, you can include a hidden field in the form to indicate that the form has/has not been verified, and have the submit action check for that and do things appropriately. No, no separate form bean. >what > action should the eidt button go? Back to the ShowFormAction is probably best, although you could go back to the form.jsp page. > Thanks You're welcome, hth. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
