An update: My attempt to forward from action to action failed. These are the mappings for the actions involved.
<action path="/multi" type="bla.presentation.MultiAction" name="multiForm" > <forward name="layer" path="/pages/multi_layer.jsp"/> <forward name="findname" path="/pages/multi_findname.jsp"/> <forward name="findaddress" path="/pages/multi_findaddress.jsp"/> <forward name="comment" path="/pages/multi_comment.jsp"/> </action> <action path="/multi/findname" type="bla.presentation.MultiFindNameAction" name="multiFindNameForm" > <forward name="findname" path="/pages/multi_findname.jsp"/> </action> I tried to replace <forward name="findname" path="/pages/multi_findname.jsp"/> with <forward name="findname" path="/multi/findname.do"/> but somehow the MultiFindNameAction's execute method is apparently called with the ActionForm param set to null: "No getter method available for property layerId for bean under name null" This seems to indicate that that's not proper way to do initialization--which is OK, as it's the Action's job to handle user input, not to preprocess the Form bean. So, back to square one: what's the proper way to get init values from a Model object that's held in the session into an ActionForm? -- NEU : GMX Internet.FreeDSL Ab sofort DSL-Tarif ohne Grundgebühr: http://www.gmx.net/dsl --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
