Hi, Can you be more specific regarding the data you are losing on validation? e.g. 1. request attributes when a new request is sent from the browser, the validation may occur before you have an opportunity to add further request attributes - in this case you should validate in your action code and set the request attributes you need for your view/jsp. 2. properties defined on your DynaForm Your form properties are automatically populated by struts from the request before validation occurs, so this data should still be on the form when your view is rendered. Struts form can be also defined as request or session scope. AFAIK for struts to make a new request following validation error you would need to return an ActionForward mapping to a URL with redirect=true, using the "input" attribute or your own forward or global mapping. Thanks, Paul

We resolved the issue Friday, by performing some additional steps. Instead of using DynaValidatorForm, we created our own class which extends DynaValidatorForm. After we call the validate-method, and it fails, we add a new object to the request of the page. It seems that, after you call "validate", a new request for the page is being sent, so if you don't add a new object to it, it "forgets" all those values. If there are other solutions, please, feel free to share them.

How are you handling validation? We will need more details about your setup and configuration to diagnose this. It sounds like you're doing a redirect after validation, otherwise the request shouldn't get cleared.
