Firstly, the page that displays the form uses the version that was saved by the first action only if its under the same key. For example, if the first action saved the form-bean to the session under the key "foobean", then this instance will be used only if * you refer to it by the key "foobean" on the page * it is the form-bean associated with (the) <html:form> on this page and respective action mapping's name attribute is "foobean" Otherwise, a new instance of this bean will be created (in the second case). Another issue to be careful with is forwarding versus redirecting. If the first action above persists the bean to the *request* and you redirect to the JSP, the bean is lost (since redirect results in a new request object).
