Well, if you configure your action with a proper form, the form would already be passed to you in your action method. Simply cast ActionForm to the TestActionForm, and populate it as you did. You don't have to set it into the request since that's done for you automatically.

Am I missing something? Hi I am having a bit of a problem understanding how exactly to pre-populate a form bean. It seems there is no way to get the name of the formbean of my next JSP or the session it is likely to be in. I know that I could do it like this: TestActionForm tf = new TestActionForm(); tf.setEmployeeNo("55525"); tf.setName("compaq"); request.setAttribute("testactionform", tf); This would prepopulate my next JSP with no problems. However any changes to bean names/scope in my struts-config.xml would require a change in my classes where the above code would be. This feels a bit strange, am I doing something wrong or not following the best practice?
