Hi Nagi, Below is the action class code:
public class Tr518page1Action extends DispatchAction { //String businessNum = null; /** * Constructor */ public Tr518page1Action() { super(); } public ActionForward create( ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException { String statusCode = null; String businessNum = "zero"; HttpSession session = request.getSession(); session.setAttribute("businessNumber", businessNum); ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors(); ActionForward forward = new ActionForward(); // return value Tr518Form tr518Form = (Tr518Form) form; //String dispatch = tr518Form.getDispatch(); try { if (session.getAttribute("businessNumber").equals("zero")) { Insert518page1 insertpg1 = new Insert518page1(); businessNum = insertpg1.ins518pg1(tr518Form); System.out.println("businessNumber : " + businessNum); session.setAttribute("businessNumber", businessNum); } else { Update518page1 updatepg1 = new Update518page1(); statusCode = updatepg1.upd518pg1(tr518Form,session); } } catch (Exception e) { // Report the error using the appropriate name and ID. errors.add("name", new ActionError("id")); } // If a message is required, save the specified key(s) // into the request for use by the <struts:errors> tag. if (!errors.isEmpty()) { saveErrors(request, errors); } // Write logic determining how the user should be forwarded. forward = mapping.findForward("next"); // Finish with return (forward); } public ActionForward save( ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException { String businessNum = null; ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors(); ActionForward forward = new ActionForward(); // return value Tr518Form tr518Form = (Tr518Form) form; //String dispatch = tr518Form.getDispatch(); try { Insert518page1 insertpg1 = new Insert518page1(); businessNum = insertpg1.ins518pg1(tr518Form); System.out.println("businessNumber : " + businessNum); HttpSession session = request.getSession(); session.setAttribute("businessNumber", businessNum); } catch (Exception e) { // Report the error using the appropriate name and ID. errors.add("name", new ActionError("id")); } // If a message is required, save the specified key(s) // into the request for use by the <struts:errors> tag. if (!errors.isEmpty()) { saveErrors(request, errors); } // Write logic determining how the user should be forwarded. forward = mapping.findForward("exit"); // Finish with return (forward); } } Please let me know where I am wrong.

Below are the details of my application: I have a wizard form interface. i.e. split a single form into four pages as given below: tr518page1.jsp tr518page2.jsp tr518page3.jsp tr518page4.jsp I have four actions corresponding to each jsp page as given below: Tr518page1Action.java Tr518page2Action.java Tr518page3Action.java Tr518page4Action.java I have one ActionForm called Tr518Form.java. This form bean contains the properties for all the four jsp pages. Below is the struts-config.xml file. ( I have removed unwanted portions for clarity ) <struts-config> <form-beans> <form-bean name="tr518Form" type="com.ewd.biztax.forms.Tr518Form"></form-bean> </form-beans> <action-mappings> <action name="tr518Form" input="tr518page1.jsp" path="/tr518page1" scope="request" parameter="dispatch1" type="com.ewd.biztax.actions.Tr518page1Action"> <forward name="next" path="/tr518page2.jsp" /> <forward name="exit" path="index.jsp" /> </action> <action name="tr518Form" input="tr518page2.jsp" path="/tr518page2" scope="request" parameter="dispatch2" type="com.ewd.biztax.actions.Tr518page2Action"> <forward name="next" path="/tr518page3.jsp" /> <forward name="exit" path="index.jsp" /> <forward name="previous" path="/tr518page1.jsp" /> </action> <action name="tr518Form" input="tr518page3.jsp" path="/tr518page3" scope="request" parameter="dispatch3" type="com.ewd.biztax.actions.Tr518page3Action"> <forward name="next" path="/tr518page4.jsp" /> <forward name="exit" path="index.jsp" /> <forward name="previous" path="/tr518page2.jsp" /> </action> <action name="tr518Form" input="tr518page4.jsp" path="/tr518page4" scope="request" parameter="dispatch4" type="com.ewd.biztax.actions.Tr518page4Action"> <forward name="next" path="schApage1.jsp" /> <forward name="exit" path="index.jsp" /> <forward name="previous" path="/tr518page3.jsp" /> </action> </action-mappings> </struts-config> Please let me know what is wrong in my application.
