If you're going to the form from /context/path/page.jsp, then it's because the action is only triggered when you go to /context/path/action.do. If you're saying that you are going to /context/path/action.do and the data is only showing up when you refresh.. thats a different problem, probably related to your action class, which I would need to see. > > Thanks > Donie > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jim Barrows [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 02 December 2004 16:59 > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: RE: Pre-populating a form from a database > > The form bean is a not a data access object!!!!!!! > Get the data in the action class, populate the form bean from that. > FormBeans are for display only. > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Donie Kelly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2004 9:43 AM > > To: Struts Users Mailing List > > Subject: Pre-populating a form from a database > > > > > > Hi all > > > > > > > > I've been going through the tutorials at > > http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Struts-Tutorial/index.html > > <http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Struts-Tutorial/index.html > > > which shows > > how to pre-populate forms. > > > > > > > > However, as I'm new to this, is there a "proper" way to > > access the database > > through the form bean?
