Betreff: Changes to values in Form get lost on forward
Hi,
I'm sure, this question has arised before, but I's quite hard
to find it in the archive. However, this question is rather short,
so I hope someone can have a short answer to it.
My problem comes up, when I do the following:
1)in YYYAction.perform I set a field of the form to a new value, like
System.out.println("importantString before=" + myForm.getImportantString());
myForm.setImportantString("The new value");
System.out.println("importantString after=" + myForm.getImportantString());
2)then I forward to ZZZAction, (this action uses the same form in the action mapping)
3)ZZZAction.perform:
-retrieves some values from the database and populates the form
-then forwards to the JSP, that displays the form data
In step 1), I see an output like:
importantString before=A cup of tea
importantString after=The new value
But when I look at my JSP, I still see "A cup of tea" as the value!
Could anybody please tell me, what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks, Holger
