Thanks again Nick for all your help. Unfortunately after trying your
suggestion of adding the taglib it still doesn't work. This should be
simple. The problem is that the object that I'm loading at the start
of the wizard has nested pre-populated relationships...eg, a User has
a Zipcode. It's these nested relationships and any other fields not on
the page that seem to get dropped from step to step. Ideally what I
would have hoped would work is that the User object would get
populated at the start and only any changes would get submitted
through the wizard, the original values that are not affected would
stay the same. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be the way it works
at all.
Anyone else got any ideas? I would have really thought it's a pretty
common use case.
Thanks again,
Brian

You're right, just reading the docs on the Wizard Form page it
doesn't mention it, but I've always used the tag when doing some
simple wizard forms. You can find the documentation for the tag at:
stripes:wizard-fields
Also reading the wizard forms it references the bugzooky example
which I know, unless it has change recently, is out of date so isn't
always the best to go by. From reading the docs it seems like the
@Wizard tag and stripes:form tag should auto-magically figure out
that it's a part of a wizard and add the fields to the page. Check
out the rendered page and see if there are a bunch of hidden fields
on it from the first form (there should be!). The tag above should
forcefully put them there if the magic isn't happening.
Again, I'm not terribly sure it does, or SHOULD, happen
automatically, as I always use the tag. Any other stripers have
ideas here?

Hi Nick,
thanks a million for the reply. I don't see anything about that in
the docs on the site...
http://www.stripesframework.org/display/stripes/Wizard+Forms
could you tell me where I can find better info about wizards in here?
cheers,

Do you the the <s:wizardFields/> tag in the form for step 2?
(forgive me if it's not the correct name, but it's something like
that).
Thats key for the wizard to work correctly...
