... so far as your error is concerned, I can't imagine why you're receiving it. You did specify a 'name="formName"' as an attribute to this action, right? That's how you make the association between the action and the form. I believe this value would probably be null if you didn't specify that attribute - and I can see where that would generate an error.
Ah - yes. I see your action declaration now. Add in 'name="customerDetailsForm"' to your <action line. That will build the association for you. Once you've done this, you no longer have to worry about creating the form ... or anything like that - and it's the *only* way you're going to get Struts to populate the form for you automatically (why would it populate something if it doesn't know there is something to populate?).
Good luck!

I would like to pre-populate a form bean for an edit screen.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
I have an Action class CustomerAccountDetailsPreEditAction that
pre-populates my form.
However, I do not know how to place the form back into the session or
request so that the jsp page can find it and use it to display values.
request.setAttribute(mapping.getName(), myForm);
session.setAttribute(mapping.getName(), myForm);
Both result in an error.
Here is the action declaration:
<action path="/customer.customerAccountDetails.pre.edit"
type="com.yordata.action.customer.CustomerAccountDetailsPreEditAction">
<forward name="success"
path="customer.edit_accountdetails"/>
</action>
Here is the form declaration:
<form-bean name="customerDetailsForm"
type="com.yordata.form.CustomerDetailsForm"/>
Thanks for your help,
Mark
