Okay, I changed my page to look like this.
<logic:iterate name="SearchForm" property="result" id="user">
<tr>
<td align="center"><bean:write name="user"
property="username"/> </td>
<td align="center">
<html:link forward="modifyUser" paramName="user" paramId="UserForm" >
Modify
</html:link>
</td>
</tr>
</logic:iterate>
this produces a link like
:http://.../user_mod.jsp?UserForm=edu.erau...form.UserForm%40ff5bdefc
I have a global action "modifyUser" with a path to /<path>/user_mod.jsp.
I am able to pick up the UserForm parameter in ModifyUser, but I am unable
to use it as the UserForm bean. Am I passing a reference to the UserForm
Bean, or just a name? how do I reconstruct the UserForm bean in ModifyUser?
I experimented with <bean:(define,include and parameter)../> with no
success.
I'm sorry if these questions are simplistic, but I am new to jsp, and
especially struts.
Also, in the origional example, the global path is to a .do file. I was
under the impression that the ".do" files were generated by the server. Do
I need to have a generated page waiting to receive my request? How is this
done?
thnxs again,
David

Subject: Re: html action links
If you just want to use html:link, you don't necessarily have to use an
ActionForm class (though you can, if you want).
Here's some code for generating a list with links. Result is a bean that
exposes a collection named rows.
<logic:iterate name="result" property="rows" id="row">
<p>
<html:link forward="donor" paramName="row" paramId="key"
paramProperty="donor">
<bean:write name="row" property="donor" filter="true"/>
</html:link>
</p>
</logic:iterate>
When the page renders, it generates links like this:
<a
href="http://localhost/struts-stub/donor/View.do?key=123456";>123456</a>
where there is a global forward "donor" with the path "/donor/View.do"
and row.getDonor() returns 123456
