You jogged my memory and I have a solution from the Appendix of "Struts In
Action." Version 1.1 and onward (possibly even in 1.0), struts
ActionMappings have had two attributes: "prefix" and "suffix." The are from
the ActionConfig class but carry over to the ActionMapping class used by the
Struts-Config.xml. Their use would be (you probably shouldn't mix them as in
this stupid example):
<action ....
name="someForm"
prefix="..."
suffix="..."
/>
</action>
The JavaDocs from the ActionConfig class (ActionMapping extends it) are:
Prefix used to match request parameter names to form bean property names, if
any.
Suffix used to match request parameter names to form bean property names, if
any.
So how/why would you use it? Do you plan on having a wizard where some
field names are the same on different pages? That way page 1 variables
could be oneId, oneTextField, etc. then page two could be
twoId, twoUsername, twoPassword, and page3 could be threeId,
threeShippingAddr1, etc. all within the same ActionForm/Pojo? If that is
the case I guess it could make wizards easier and avoid variable collision.

David
