Subject: Re: Populating multiple forms from one action class Date: Wed, 4 Dec 2002 23:42:14 +0000 From: Curtney Jacobs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Craig R. McClanahan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Greetings Craig!! just to verify. So, it is possible to populate multiple forms (contained on a single JSP page) from within one action class. For instance, I intend to have one action class that pre-populates three form beans: education, guardian, and enrollment. Currently, I have the action class pre-populating only one form bean and putting it into the current session, however, the data is not shown in the form when the jsp page is displayed. It only work when I associate the action to the form bean within my struts-config.xml Thanks in advance, Curtney Jacobs On Monday 02 December 2002 1:12 am, you wrote: > On Fri, 29 Nov 2002, Curtney Jacobs wrote: > > Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2002 11:43:24 +0000 > > From: Curtney Jacobs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Reply-To: Struts Users Mailing List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To: Struts Users Mailing List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Subject: Re: Populating multiple forms from one action class > > > > Greetings!! > > > > I understand what you are saying.
