Not sure this is a struts problem but it is related to the struts style of working. I have a page with three frames and I ask that one frame be reloaded from struts. My Action may decide that it needs to send back an error message rather than the requested data. If so, I want to send back a full

If you wanted to slim this down, and your goal is just to bring them up to speed on Struts, I'd hazard to say that there's much that a Struts developer doesn't ~really~ need to know about Web application development. Not sure I agree with this. My experience with Struts indicates that it is

RE: How to pre-populate an actionForm in the perform method?

when a URL (myUrl.do) is invoced, the ActionServlet instantiates a myForm (according to the struts-config.xml), forwards control to a myAction object; the perform() method of myAction calls the reset() method of the myForm object and then forwards to a JSP page. It is the JSP page itself
