Good job! You are an example everyone should follow on this list. Find a solution, do not keep it to yourself.

Hopefully this will be helpful to someone in the future with the same problem. However, after successfully managing to work my way through this problem, I have run into another problem. It appears that when I forward to an action after setting my new DynaActionForm in the request, the next action overwrites the values, with values that where passed to the initial request. The log excerpt below details the problem. You will notice that serviceForm is set and found, and notice that it says that it will be recycled. but immediately after that it repopulates the bean properties, thus overriding the values that i set. Any thoughts, are am I trying to do something that really isn't possible? Thanks Alex // Initialize the DynaActionFormClass. ModuleConfig mc = (ModuleConfig) request.getAttribute(Globals.MODULE_KEY); FormBeanConfig fbc = mc.findFormBeanConfig("serviceForm"); DynaActionFormClass dafc = DynaActionFormClass.createDynaActionFormClass(fbc); // Create a new instance of the serviceForm DynaActionForm. DynaActionForm serviceForm = (DynaActionForm) dafc.newInstance(); serviceForm.set("id", (String) aspectForm.get("serviceId")); // Set the serviceForm in the HttpServletRequest. request.setAttribute("serviceForm", serviceForm); 2003-05-30 14:15:28,786 [Thread-4] DEBUG org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor - Processing a 'GET' for path '/editService' 2003-05-30 14:15:28,786 [Thread-4] DEBUG org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils - Looking for ActionForm bean instance in scope 'request' under attribute key 'serviceForm' 2003-05-30 14:15:28,786 [Thread-4] DEBUG org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils - Recycling existing DynaActionForm instance of type 'serviceForm' 2003-05-30 14:15:28,786 [Thread-4] DEBUG org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils - --> DynaActionForm[dynaClass=serviceForm,type=,description=,name=,id=1830746640- 92] 2003-05-30 14:15:28,786 [Thread-4] DEBUG org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor - Storing ActionForm bean instance in scope 'request' under attribute key 'serviceForm' 2003-05-30 14:15:28,786 [Thread-4] DEBUG org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor - Populating bean properties from this request 2003-05-30 14:15:28,787 [Thread-4] DEBUG org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor - Looking for Action instance for class com.christianity.dashboard.struts.action.manager.EditService 2003-05-30 14:15:28,787 [Thread-4] DEBUG org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor - Returning existing Action instance On Thu, 2003-05-29 at 19:13, Michael Ruppin wrote: > Request variables are not lost unless you set > redirect=true in your [editService] mapping, or > construct an ActionForward from scratch, setting redirect=true. > > --- Alex Winston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > My apologizes for yet another thread on action > > chaining, but I am in a > > bit of a pickle, and the archives have been of > > little help. > > > > I have the following struts configuration, modified > > for brevity. > > > > <form-bean name="serviceForm" > > type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm"> > > <form-property name="id" type="java.lang.String"/> > > <form-property name="name" > > type="java.lang.String"/> > > <form-property name="type" > > type="java.lang.String"/> > > <form-property name="description" type="java.lang.String"/> > > </form-bean> > > > > <action path="/editService" > > > > > type="com.christianity.dashboard.struts.action.manager.EditService" > > name="serviceForm" > > scope="request" > > validate="false"> > > <forward name="view" path="/jsp/editService.jsp"/> </action> > > > > <action path="/createAspect" > > > > > type="com.christianity.dashboard.struts.action.manager.CreateAspect" > > name="aspectForm" > > scope="request" > > validate="false"> > > <forward name="view" path="/editService.do"/> > > </action> > > > > > > The problem occurs when I forward from createAspect > > to editService after > > setting request variables.
