You're right...the form data is getting to the action, and for some 
reason the reset method is getting called when I don't think it should. 
   I have the form info in my action and it passes the form's 
validation, but if I add an error in the action and return a new 
ActionForward, the displayed page doesn't have the form info.

I'm a struts newbie, and odds are that I'm just missing something really 
lame, but I've been tearing my hair out trying to figure out what it is. 
    Is it that once a form gets past ActionForm.validate, the form data 
will no longer be returned?  I tried setting the form scope to both 
session and request, to no avail.

Thanks again for any help.
