You don't associate 2 form beans to one action. Ever. You can't. Why do you think you need to associate 2 forms to an action? What is it about the action that makes want it to use two forms? What is it exactly youre trying to accomplish here?
The reason your example complained about a missing getter for your checkbox is that you had F1 feeding into A1, and A1 forwarding into A2, and F1 does not have the checkbox property that A2 needs. Hence the exception. Presumably you want J2 to display after A1 so the user can select the checkbox. Would your application allow you to have A1 and A2 use the same form (with checkbox...nothing says you have to use the property on A1). It's difficult to help without knowing what it is youre trying to accomplish. If A1 is something that should stick around, you can session scope it, but I'm hesitant to recommend that without knowing if that's what you really wanted. > -----Original Message----- > From: t t [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, October 17, 2004 11:20 AM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: RE: Help !
