Thanks for the help. I'm still stumped. When I call my "display form" action it has the following:
request.setAttribute("test","test value"); it forwards to a jsp....the jsp correctly displays the value with this code: <h3>Test: <bean:write name="test"/></h3> All is good. The jsp has a form with the following action: <html:form action="metricCRUD.do?method=processForm" method="post"> In my processForm method, the first thing I do is look for that request variable which I could SEE was displayed in the jsp...so it must have been there. String test = (String) request.getAttribute("test"); log.info("the value of test is: " + test); Why is the request variables I displayed in my jsp...not being sent to my process form method?
