To answer your question Dakota Jack, in an overall view what you have said is correct:
From a page of Users, I want to click on one to open a JSP page that I can 'Edit' the User attributes, and then have that individual
attribute data 'Updated'. It really is very simple.
Reading the replies here and the Struts FAQ, everyone says "Create two actions, one to pre-populate the data, and the other to save that data"
- So, the first action populates the data in the Execute() function, returns an ActionForward to the 'Edit' JSP. But in order for html:form to display that populated data, I have to refer to the first Action, not the second, barring me from submitting this data to the second page.
I've got to have this wrong! I've re-read these responses and pored through my Struts book but I'm obviously missing something
Thanks everyone for your input, I only post to the list when I'm truly stumped.
- Nic.

I am just going to hold out, Nic, until you merely say what you want the client to do without giving any code. If you want to know what to do from me, just tell me what you want the client to do. As I said, this is simple stuff, but dealing with your code just complicates it.
If you don't just want to define what the client wants to see and do, that is okay. That is your choice. But I am not digging through what you are doing to answer a simple question.
Maybe I can do it for you and you can just confirm:
You want to have a page with values in a form call an action to "edit" using the values and then to return to some page that will have these values displayed and the page will be used by the client to "update" the data? Is that right? This does not make sense to me but seems to be what you want the client to do. Please just state what you want the client to do and only that, okay? You are really over complicating everything, I think.
