Hi,
I'm seeing input form data disappear if the validation fails & the page is
re-displayed; have Googled around but found nothing specific to dyna forms,
so I'm hoping someone has come across this & know what the issue is; I had
tried setting the action's scope to session as a test, but the form data
still disappears.

The form is declared as a DynaValidatorActionForm b/c I hope to re-use it in
later actions.
I'm using an initial setup action w/ validation off which forwards to the
page in question that captures user data.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Here are the relevant form, actions & validation declarations :

struts-config.xml :

                <form-bean name="shippingBillingAddressForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorActionForm">                
         <form-property name="firstName" type="java.lang.String" />
         <form-property name="lastName" type="java.lang.String" />
         <form-property name="address1" type="java.lang.String" />
         <form-property name="address2" type="java.lang.String" />
         <form-property name="city" type="java.lang.String" />
         <form-property name="state" type="java.lang.String" />
         <form-property name="zip" type="java.lang.String" />
         <form-property name="phone" type="java.lang.String" />
         <form-property name="shipping" type="java.lang.String" />           
        </form-bean>

                <!--  setup action that navigates to the shipping page; 
existance

w/o validaton errors
showing -->
                <action path="/shippingSetup" name="shippingBillingAddressForm"
                                input="shipping.page"                           
                                                              
                                validate="false"
                                scope="request">
                        <forward name="toShipping" path="shipping.page"/>
        </action>
                <action path="/shipping" name="shippingBillingAddressForm"
                                input="shipping.page"                           
                                                              
                                validate="true"
                                scope="request">
                        <forward name="toBilling" path="billing.page"/>
        </action>

validation.xml :

    <formset>

                <form name="/shipping">
            <field property="firstName" depends="required">
            <arg0 key="addressForm.firstName"/> 
            </field>
                </form>
....

What does shipping.page refer to? A Tiles definition? The 'input' 
attribute of your form handling action should probably point back to the 
setup action.
