Just guessing, but the reason the Vectors are null is probably because the action that is being called is configured as request scope and not session in the Struts configuration file. Therefore, after the HTML page is drawn (using the Vectors to populate the drop-down boxes), the ActionForm is recycled because the request is complete. If you need data like this to stick around and not have to get it again from your database or backend, then you either going to have to make the action session scope, or hide the data in the page. Take a look at the ActionMapping defined for the action being called and see if it doesn't have something like scope="request". Actually, I think the default is request, so if you don't have a line scope="request" in the mapping, it will default to request scope.
You might try making this scope="session". Check out the JavaDoc on the ActionMapping class for more information. Chuck p.s. Is anyone really using the Vector class anymore? Why aren't you using List/ArrayList? Just curious. -- Sent via jApache.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
