Suppose for instance you want to prepopulate a form where users can edit their profile;
the way i do it is: I have an action PrepareEditProfileAction that a) gets the data from storage b) creates a editProfileFormBean and puts the data in it c) saves this editProfileFormBean in request-scope d) forwards to the edit profile jsp page, which then displays the data from the editProfileFormBean in request scope.. so your struts-config.xml looks like: <!-- prepopulate --> <action path="/actions/prepareeditprofile" type="actions.PrepareEditProfileAction"> <forward name="success" path="/editprofileform.jsp" /> </action> <action path="/actions/editprofile" type="actions.EditProfileAction" name="editProfileFormBean" scope="request" validate="true" input="/actions/prepareeditprofile.do"> <forward name="success" path="/success.jsp" /> </action> Is this a common reproach? I've seen people using the "input" attribute point to an prepopulate action?
