===========================================
The problem is that,
when the name=... and type=... attributes are specified on a
<html:form
...> tag, the form bean is created anew every time the page is
visited,
thus losing
the field
data from the submit action. I got down this path by
reading
about the from tag
and thought it was making things clearer to struts. When
I
removed the name and
type attributes, the form fields were repopulated properly
by
struts.
