Try the Bean.populate() method. This will make copying from different beans much easier.

Both these methods would be called from an action class. Function void useMyForm(ActionForm form){ SomeFormClass myForm = new SomeFormClass(); myForm.setName("Blah"); myForm.setAge("289"); etc... form = myForm; } When I get to the jsp the fields are not populated with the form variables . why does this not work but the following way does. Function void fillInForm(ActionForm form){ SomeFormClass myForm = (SomeFormClass)form; myForm.setName("Blah"); myForm.setAge("289"); etc... } Using this "normal" way when I get to the jsp the fields are populated with the form variables. How can a use something similar to the first method? I am he, as you are he, as you are me, and we are all together. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
