Out of curiosity, is it really making a new one, or just putting the request data in to the existing Form, again? > Is there an intuitive way of passing on the new id? > > I already use sectionEdit.do as a first action by > calling it with an id > on a querystring, where the formbean picks it up.

If this property is populated, ignore the property Struts populated from the request. I guess this depends on my assumption above, but if Struts really is making a new Form, you could still put this new property in the request, and make sure it happens only in the Action you chain from, and never from the HTML you render. > Adam > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
