Sure; use the id to retrieve the bean (just like you would for a normal 'edit' CRUD-type action) and pre-populate the form.
Could you please provide a concrete example? I don't really understand what an "'edit' CRUD-type action" is. > use the id to retrieve the bean How do I retrieve it? Should I use <bean:define> (as I tried) ? I have two actions. One for the form and one for the modify button on the page that shows up on form submission: //---------------------------------------- <action input="/LP/JSP_L01.jsp" name="BEAN_L01" path="/L01FormAction" scope="request" type="com.myapp.struts.ACT_L01" validate="true"> <set-property property="cancellable" value="true"/> <forward name="cancel" path="/index.jsp"/> <forward name="success" path="/LP/JSP_L01_1.jsp"/> </action> <action input="/LP/JSP_L01.jsp" name="BEAN_L01" path="/L01FormModifyAction" scope="request" type="com.myapp.struts.ACT_L01Modify"> <forward name="success" path="/LP/JSP_L01.jsp"/> </action> //---------------------------------------- Thanks so much for some help.
