Form reload problem

[Valéry Jacot <pt...@hotmail.com>]

Hi...

I've the following problem:

I have a form tag in a jsp page, on submit, it validate the form and then
call the execute method of the action. If there is no errors in the validate
method of the form, no problem. But if there is some errors, it come back to
the page but don't write in the "<html:text>" tags the values that were
posted.
This works if, in the file struts-config.xml, I set the attribute scope of
the form in the action to "session". But I absolutly need to set it to
request.

So, what is my problem ???

Tanks...


struts-config.xml code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts
Configuration 1.1//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd">
<!-- edited with XML Spy v4.4 U (http://www.xmlspy.com)
     This is the Struts configuration file for the example application,
     using the proposed new syntax.

     NOTE:  You would only flesh out the details in the "form-bean"
     declarations if you had a generator tool that used them to create
     the corresponding Java classes for you.  Otherwise, you would
     need only the "form-bean" element itself, with the corresponding
     "name" and "type" attributes.
