I'm using the default stack. What I'm trying to do is something very
simple, that was incredibly straightforward in Struts 1. What I'm
finding is the getModel() method is not getting called when I expect it
to. It doesn't get called until after the action has been "hit" once.
But that doesn't help, because the input page doesn't "hit" the action
until the form is submitted. So somehow, I need to get my bean (the
object returned by getModel()) on the ValueStack before the input page
is rendered. I have no idea how to do that. In Struts 1, all I had to
do was create the form bean in a "pre-action", throw it in session, then
forward to the input page. I don't know why Struts 2 doesn't allow for
something that simple.
