What part of this would AJAX solve? Not questioning because I know to be smart, but honestly asking. Right now what we're doing is having the popup submit itself to a traditional action, then refreshing to another JSP that handles that the updating of the parent page. I'd love it if AJAX were the solution, but I'm not sure I see how it solves where we're stuck, which is that we need the component to reusable to update 1 to N fields and N form names. Thus it needs to be more flexible than the hard-coded example provided somehow. Without having us create a half dozen almost identical (save form names and fields to update) JSP pages and actions.

Open the popup and do the necessary search either directly doing a http request..with submit or using HttpXMLRequest if your server support such request. And then use javascript window.open.href etc to point to the form in the page and do the necessary updations.you can both change the form values or add components to the html page. try it..do inform the result.

You can submit HTML form to server, store temporary data in the session (for example, as a nested property of session- scoped ActionForm) and then commit session data to the database only if needed. If not needed, session data is discarded and database knows nothing about it. > Hopefully someone gets the question and can help.
