ActionForms sole purpose i believe is to capture information the user has entered within a web page. Hence we have in Struts the MVC 2 model, whereby the presntation layer is represented by JSP/velocity pages, ActionForm classes used to capture information the user has entered within the preentation pages, and Action classes to process business logic.
Now in regards to preparing information for you to render within multiple presentation pages, information should be stored in session objects. Hence in your case, if you need to present information to the Action B class from Action A, store this in a session object. Also have a storage place in the ActionForm class so that Action B can retrieve the information in an appropriate manner.

The user will select a particular value object which the next actionForm B will need for presentation. How should this be done? I would think action A would grab the value object from its actionForm and some how pass it to the next action or set that value in actionForm B and then forward the request to Action B. I don't see how to do either of these or is this done another way? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
