Did you do this after the Http client call? One thought I had was that somehow that call was messing with the request and I wondered if trying to retrieve the ActionForm from the request would return null? > If I commented out the Http client call (and hard coded the result instead), > everything worked fine again. I guess the question then is how your Http client call is working - what could it be doing thats messing up struts? > I switched on the "debug" mode for log4j.

(since the > debugging info showed the correct values). Its hard to see how this could happen - its such a core part of Struts that if it wasn't working I think we would be inundated with issues. From the bits of code you've posted, everything looks fine, although you'll forgive me from being skeptical - but people don't always post exactly the code they're running. If its a Struts issue its more likely that the ActionForm you're mapping is configured to use is different from the the action mapping used by the <html:form> element in the jsp. Other things that could cause trouble include "Action Chaining" or a custom RequestProcessor thats messing with the default behaviour. I would concentrate of what the http client call is doing though - that is where the issue seems to be caused. One last suggestion, and I'm not sure why I'm saying it, but can you deploy this on Tomcat 5.0 rather than 5.5 and see if it still occurs? > Thanks, > Vince --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
