I just wanted to let you -everyone who helped me a little bit to solve my problems - that - FINALLY - it works!!!!
I did some very dumb mistakes. What I can say now is: 1. RTFM :-) I misunderstood Struts completly! I thought first the Action would be done, and then the results would be saved in the ActionForm. --> So my Vector in my ActionForm was empty. 2. My Vector also contained null, so the iteration crashed. 3. Some Minor problems. When I had fixed one problem, it still didn't work, so I changed it, may have fixed another problem, but had the old bugs again, and so it went on and on. Yesterday I had the brilliant idea to go on reading Chuck's Struts Book, and then finally I had the solution! Hope this will never happen to anyone else of you! :-) cya, marcus [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb: > > Hi there, > > I've got an Action, that creates a Vector, > that is stored in an ActionForm. > The Action scope is set to "session". > > Now I am forwarding to a jsp, and when a user hits "submit" another > action gets called that uses the same Vector of the same ActionForm. > Anyways, it only returns an empty Vector to the jsp. > I am 99% sure that my actions are working correctly.
