Hi I tried doing the same. but when there is an error in the page , it does not retreive the values from the form bean. I am validating in action class for all type of errors.

User (Generic Value Object) UserBean (Extends form bean) On initial page we have a link to viewUser.do?userId=100 In the Action class correspoding to viewUser.do, in the perform method we have (maybe through an controller or some such) User newUser = userDAO.getUserDetails("100"); request.setAttribute("user", User); mapping.findForward("user.jsp"); In the user.jsp page, User user = (User)request.getAttribute("user"); Use taglibs for this <html:form action="modifyUser.do"> <html:text property="userName" value="<%=user.getUserName()%>"/> <html:text property="city" value="<%=user.getCity()%>"/> .......... .......... </html:form> -JC -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2002 6:52 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ActionForm Defaults/Updates Question > In the end, I've just grabbed the Form bean from the pageContext Pardon my ignorance but can you tell me the syntax in your JSP page to do just that above?

You know, this question has come up a bunch of times, but I've never seen any good responses. If I've got a form in which users enter contact information, the first time the user sees it, I'd like to set the default values for the form to whatever I know about the user. Since I already have a User object, I would think that the best place to do this would be in the reset() method of the ActionForm, but there's no way to pass the ActionForm the User object (or any information that's not part of the form)! In the end, I've just grabbed the Form bean from the pageContext and called a setUser() method so that the reset() method will have something to pull data from. Am I missing something? Is there a better way to do this?
