Design Pattern question
I'm new to Struts and I ran into a problem with my first application. It
appears that only one form bean can be assigned to a single action. However,
I have a situation in which I have one page with a form that leads to another
page with a form. Specifically, on Page A, I have a select box. The user
selects an item and presses an Edit button. The Edit button submits the form
and the user is brought to the next page, Page B, which contains the form used
to edit the item.
So, if the Edit button leads to an Action, it will pull the selected item from
a FormBean assigned to the action. Then, how do I prepopulate the form bean
for the next page? Do I have to somehow forward to another Action? If so,
how do I carry the selected item over to the new Action?
Thanks for the help.

hi,
Once you have retrieved the data in your action from the form bean, you can
put it in the request scope of the action class execute method.
The same will be available when you get forwarded to the next JSP in the
request scope of the second JSP page which can the be used to
for prepopulation.
