It works, but yes, you are right in the sense that If I override The struts catalog, everything will screw up... unless I have a look at Chain-config before, so that I know what commands are supposed to be In struts chain, and then add mine while keeping original ones.. I think that's the best solution right now..though I don't know if it is the Optimal one
For now, any case where one can't use the default chain should begin with extracting the default chain from the struts-core JAR and editing it, and then explicitly specifying an alternate location for the file in the web.xml init parameters.

That's what the original WSRequstProcessor was doing (Frank, pls comment if I am saying something wrong).. It was working in the old way (for some reason, the preprocess method was then getting executed twice...and that's what I cannot reproduce, because the second time the request will come into the preprocess method, form will be populated..
if it does a redirect, that would explain the doubling as well as the correct population after the redirect -- but especially in the chain model, I wouldn't advise that as the best way to solve the problem.
However, thanx to your explanation I have one more trial to try.... then I will be lost if it does not work :-)
You always have us here on the list ;-)
