If you do not have prejudice against form bean with session scope, you can use Struts Dialogs and create two JSP Controls. Each JSP Control contains an action class and a form bean. For action class you either can directly use DialogAction, or you may have to subclass it. Include both controls (that is, their actions) into your JSP using <jsp:include>. The submit request is sent directly to each control. You need to set up action mapping for each control to set the target/reload location. For the first control this would be you JSP page, in which you embed the controls. Struts Dialogs home page: http://struts.sourceforge.net/strutsdialogs JSP control how-to: http://struts.sourceforge.net/strutsdialogs/dialogaction-logincontrolsample.html Live demo of JSP control: http://www.superinterface.com/strutsdialog/embeddedmasterpage-tomcat.do In the live demo the "Sign In" box is a JSP control. The catch: if you use Tomcat, you cannot forward from action to JSP to render a control, Tomcat closes response writer right after forward. So you would need to design forward to JSP in regular way, then run your app, Jasper will generate Java source code for your JSP, then you need to copy that source code to your project. See the samples, they contain all needed code. This issue will be addressed in next SRV spec. It is a little hassle, but result worth it ;) Michael. -- Dialogs for Struts http://struts.sourceforge.net/strutsdialogs --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
