Hi, Thanks for the reply. There's absolutely no reason that initializing field values in setup action won't work for me. But I am building this use case for reports and was wondering if the initial values for start and end period for every report could be controlled declaratively. But I guess I'll just have to use setup action for now. Thanks a ton........

The typical solution is to pre-populate the form in a "setup" action (or in a method of a DispatchAction) before forwarding to the JSP. Is there some reason that won't work for you? -- Wendy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
