Form bean is null in pagecontext?

[Kevin Roast <ke...@activiti.com>]

Hi,

Does anyone know, at what point does the form bean get added to the
pageContext as an attribute? (with the key 
org.apache.struts.taglib.html.Constants.FORM_KEY)

The reason I ask, is that I have a custom tag that needs to access the
form bean class directly (I have created a base form bean class with
methods I require), and I'm trying to do something like this in the tag
code:


BaseForm form = (BaseForm)pageContext.getAttribute(Constants.FORM_KEY);


Where "BaseForm" is my form bean base class type.

However this returns null. Any ideas? The form is specified as "request"
scope in the config file.

Thanks,

Kev
