To avoid that your action must implement the Preparable interface. Then you implement the method of the interface called prepare(). This method is used to initialize objects, like your List from the database. this method executes always, even if there's a validation error and your action method doesn't execute. prepare() does. With that, your list always be recreated in each server request even if you have validation errors or something like that. I hope it helps you. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org
