Hi Derek, This is a recurring question in the list. The solution (Ted etc please correct me if I'm wrong) is to forward to an action first, this creates an instance of the form (if required) and sets the properties (userloggedin) before forwarding to the jsp containing the form.
Ted etc. Can we not extend the form tag and add a default/prepopulate attribute? When true the forms properties are set (if possible) with the corresponding request/session attributes.
