Well reading the FAQ from what I understand you should be doing the following.
You should have access to your necessary business methods from pretty much any struts action you build. This means that you should be able to carry out all necessary business commands for a particular action hence no chaining would be required to other actions. I however have been using chaining in my current system. I have actions that carry out unique tasks and when chained they populate my form with all I need! Anyway, I'm too new to Struts hence am not to sure what exactly is the right way to doing certain things. ;) --Alen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Siva" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2003 12:14 PM Subject: Re: Why not to use Action chaining ? > Thanks Alen, > > Ted Husted (Struts in Action) says that the action chaining in the dark side > of Struts. > > The problem he mentioned is that > > "when the second action is being invoked, the form is being 'repopulated' > with the initial form values that the form had when it was passed to the > first action " > > Since I am new to struts, I am not able to grasp it clearly.
