Short story:
I need to retrieve existing ActionForms (ActionFormBeans?) from the Controller
Servlet or from the current Session. (I also do not understand the difference
between an ActionForm object and an ActionFormBean object).
Long story:
I have this web application with about 10 forms on
If they were all sessions scope form-beans, then they would all be
stored in the session context under the name given in the Struts config.
Often, developers will use one ActionForm object under one form-bean
name for something like this, and just expose part of the object on each
page. The
Thanks Ted.
I read about doing the one-form-bean method, but it would be one huge file. My
forms have way too many elements on each page with too much validation logic.
It would be a nightmare to maintain. Smaller ActionForms for each part makes
it easier to see what's going on and easier to
So the answer, in code, from within my ReviewAction class is the line:
ContactForm cForm = (ContactForm)
request.getSession(false).getAttribute(contactForm);
where contactForm is the name in the struts-config.xml file for the
form-bean:
form-bean name=contactForm
I've missed most of the thread on this, but if the struts-config.xml was
as you listed, wouldn't an easier way of getting the form bean be:
ContactForm cForm = (ContactForm)form;
where form is one of the parameters passed to the perform method?
This is the way we do it in our applications.
I was trying to access a form that wasn't directly associated with that
particular Action in the config file. I'm going to want to access about 10 of
them all together inside one Action class.
Normally, you would do it the way you mentioned when you have one Action mapped
with one ActionForm in
I was trying out Ted's code, slightly modified, in an Action class:
protected ActionForm createActionForm(String path) {
ActionServlet as = this.getServlet();
ActionMapping mapping = as.findMapping(path);
String name = mapping.getName();
ActionForm form = null;

Wouldn't it make more sense to have a pre-initialisation action on the
action that is actually connected to the form. This pre-initialisation
would then populate the form.
Many forms are initialized differently for different purposes. One way

It's pretty simple, I think.
1) The formbean is passed to the action's perform method by the Struts
controller.
2) The action populates the formbean (ReportDataForm) from

You'll need to pass the ID of the selected item to the action. So
your selection view will have something like
