I guess I don't follow.... How do I prepopulate the form bean? I have a list page which lists all of the roles in the system. When the form on the list page is submitted, I can retrieve the ID of the role that the user wants to edit. In the action class I then retrieve that role, and put it into the request scope.
The question is... how do I pre-populate the form bean with that role? I don't have access to the form bean yet from the action class.
