Max, Thanks for your inputs. But all the fields are declared as properties in the form with setters and getters. These fields are resetted in the reset() method. I tried with commenting them in the reset() method, but this does not seem to solve the problem. Is this a struts default feature that on validation errors when the request goes to jsp page, it does not retain the values of the fields. This will be tedious for a user, that if one required field is missed, he has to retype for all other fields. I found by debug statements in my formbean that in the validate method, the values are available but when the jsp page is populated, the values are not available in the get methods. What can I do to get them back.

As long as they are in the request (and the names in the HTML form match your ActionForm), they should be populated in the ActionForm when a validation error occurs. -Max ----- Original Message ----- From: "krishnamohan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 6:10 AM Subject: data disappearing in jsp > Hi, > > In my jsp page I have 5 fields out of which 2 fields are required.
