Your form is probably in the request scope. If you put your form in the session scope, then your fields will remain. The problem is that the form is destroyed and recreated with the fields that you posted. Instead of putting lists (for selects) in the form, populate them every time in the action, or have the get<ListName> method in your form return the list from your database every time. Request scope forms are SUPPOSED to behave in this way. Once you populate the form and push it to the page, the request is over. When the user submits the form, the previous form is gone and a new one has to be created.

In my ActionForm class I validate whether a checkbox was clicked or not. If the checkbox was not clicked an error is returned and displayed on the same jsp-page. This works fine but: Some (not all!) of the properties which were given by the user are not available on the error page. Furthermore, before I first show the jsp-form I get some information from a database which is then stored in the ActionForm bean and therefore displayed in a selectbox. After submitting the form and after validation this information is not available on the error jsp-page. It seems that the ActionForm object was destroyed too early. I have already post this problem to the struts user list but nobody could help me. Maybe this is a know bug.
