Accessing another action's form from within an action?
Hello all... I'd like to know if this is possible, and if so how: - A user submits a form - The request hits the appropriate action (ActionA), and when the action gets to return (mapping.findForward(forwardName));, the forwardName forward maps to another action, say: ... forward name=forwardName redirect=false path=/ActionB.do?action=view/ ... - ActionB is reached - What I'd like to be able to do is access the form object that was available to the first action (FormA) in ActionB (since it is this form object that has the values that I need to do some work in ActionB). Within struts-config.xml, ActionA is associated with FormA and ActionB is associated with FormB. I could put the information that I need into the session, but I want to find out if there's a built-in/more elegant way to do this. Any information would be greatly appreciated...

You could attach the form to the request in Action A and retrieve in in Action B. Action A: request.setAttribute( ActionAForm, theFormForActionA ); Action B: ActionAForm theForm = (ActionAForm)request.getAttribute( ActionAForm ); Would that work for you?

Dave, Thanks for the suggestion... Yes, the request will work... Its shorter-lived than the session so I think that it is a better alternative. Cheers...
