Two more comments: In the second tutorial, you are preparing the employeeForm using the SetUpEmployeeAction. In doing so, you run
employeeForm.setDepartment("2"); Shouldn't you instead set the default department selection in the form reset() method? Naturally the reset() method is the incorrect place to populate the options, but it is a good place to define which one will be selected by default. In regards to the discussion on using Tokens for the forward mapping keys (such as "success" and "continue") you may also want to note that doing so allows you to have two tokens point to the same definition. In short Tokens.SUCCESS_KEY = "success"; Tokens.CONTINUE_KEY = "success"; So you can really play with the means of your Action class without having to bother the Action class. In short the action class shouldn't really care what view is choosen or its meaning, it just deals with the general workflow, such as success failure continue redo Dan -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Daniel Allen, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mojavelinux.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "If you still don't like it, that's ok: that's why I'm boss.
