Thank you everyone. The problem is solved.
Now i set the same attribute for both action.
<action path="/setUpCategoryEditForm"
type="com.strutsgen.garuda.SetUpCategoryEditAction"
name="categoryEditForm"
attribute="val_categoryEdit"
scope="request"
validate="false"
>
<forward
name="continue"
path="/categoryEditForm.jsp"/>
</action>
<action path="/categoryEdit"
type="com.strutsgen.garuda.CategoryEditAction"
name="categoryEditForm"
attribute="val_categoryEdit"
scope="request"
validate="true"
input="/categoryEditForm.jsp"
>
<forward
name="success"
path="/categoryEditOk.jsp"/>
</action>
My codes in SetUpCategoryEditAction:
CategoryEditForm categoryEditForm = (CategoryEditForm) form;
categoryEditForm.setName("testing");
request.setAttribute("categoryEditForm", form);
