I'm using struts 1.2.9 but your case seems pretty standard. 1. yes, you should include the form name in your mapping 2. if necessary, in your action access the "id" from either the request or the form 3. get your data and populate the form 4. do not create form beans yourself If you still have problem please post your mapping and action code

I am looking for an example of an edit cycle. Let's say I have a list of employee names; If I click on one I want to have a page to edit the employee values. The initial click would call an action that queries the database, gets the employee data, and stores it...where exactly? The initial click did not come from a form, and so does not have an associated ActionForm (or should it?) The edit page will have an associated ActionForm, but we are not there yet. I could just "pass" an ActionForm bean to the edit page via request.setAttribute()? As you can see, I'm a bit confused on this point. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************************************************** This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain privileged information or confidential information or both.
