Thanks for your replies guys. I implemented the ForwardAction class as you
suggested and it works. But I ran into another problem Like I said I am
displaying the value from the request scope as below.
<td><%=request.getParameter("email")%></td>
This displays what I want. But can I set this to my ActionForm for this JSP,
so that I can retrieve the same value in my Action Class and use it for
soemthing else.
I tried this but didnt work:
<td><bean:write name="emailForm"
property="<%=request.getParameter("email")%>"/></td>
is there any other way that I can set this value to an ActionForm using bean
tags
Thanks again

You CAN call JSPs directly, but it's not generally thought of as a good
idea. If you need to display a JSP and don't really need any
functionality behind it, you can use a ForwardAction, which is a kind of
Action specifically designed to just forward to a JSP. This keeps your
control layer involved.
In your case, you can do that and I'm pretty sure there's no reason you
can't add the eMail address as a query string parameter, then access it
through the request object on your JSP page. However, I think it's
probably a better design to have an ActionForm and an Action to submit
to, forward to your JSP and access it through the form as you normally
would in Struts. Certainly will make your life easier later if you need
to extend what's being done.
