Re: struts 1.2: calling an action by ajax (javawebparts)
I would suggest joining the JWP mailing list and re-posting this
question there... the form manipulator handler was written by a member
of the JWP team named Herman, and I know he'd be able to help you out
quickly. I think though that there is an example of that handler in the
JWP sample application that comes with the distribution, if memory
serves, you may want to check that out first. If it's no help, moving
to the JWP mailing list would probably be a good idea at this point
since this isn't so much Struts-related any more.
