yes..the form bean which was submitted contains the previous data..But the data which u are going to put on screen will not necessarily be in same form bean(mostly in another form bean)and also will be rendered by another action....so the data processing action and data populating action are different here using different form beans...Didn,t u get my earlier post about the same ?or am i replying the same mail again :-((

One question on your suggestion. Usually the form bean represents the form data of the "previous" page. The data, which is required to be put in the view (JSP), most probably would not be present in the form bean. So, how can we say that using the form bean is the best idea. In the scenario which I described, what can be the alternative and best practise?
