After clicking on continue on the loginWarning.jsp page, I no longer have the username and password fields that are validated in the validate method of the loginForm. How should I make this available? Thanks.

The Continue button would send them back to the logon Action class and the Cancel button would simply be a link back to the login.jsp page. However, I would change my Action class to a DispatchAction class and setup things like they have in the DispatchAction API doc, in your case, something like this: <action path="/loginUser" type="my.package.LoginUserAction" name="subscriptionForm" scope="request" input="/login.jsp" parameter="action"> <forward name="warn" path="/loginWarning.jsp"/> <forward success path="afterLogin.jsp"/> </action> I would then have two jsps, one for logging in (login.jsp) and then the one for warning (loginWarning.jsp), and I would code my DispatachAction class as follows: import org.apache.struts.action.DispatchAction; public class LoginUserAction extends DispatchAction { //have one method named for each possible function name you will be //passing in the "action" parameter //invoked when our Action class is called with action=showWarningIfNecessary public ActionForward showWarningIfNecessary(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { //if the user is already logged in //return mappings.findForward("warning"); //else return mappings.findForward("success"); } //invoked when our Action class is called with action=continue public ActionForward continue(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { return mappings.findForward("success"); } } In login.jsp, you would have a hidden form field with a name of "action" and a value of "showWarningIfNecessary": <html:hidden name="action" value="showWarningIfNecessary"/> In loginWarning.jsp your continue button could just be a link to: loginUser.do?action=continue (or you could have a hidden field named action like in login.jsp, but the value would be "continue") And your cancel button could be a link to: login.jsp If you read the API doc on DispatchAction, this will all make sense. Hope that helped!
