Can you give more details? Are you talking about pre-populating the Form, like presenting an existing "record" for editing? I would probably populate some other object (Data Transfer Object, JavaBean, whatever) from the XML and then continue using BeanUtils.copyProperties() to populate the Form bean. I have not played with it, but I think there's a project in the Commons that can populate a Java Object from XML. Is it Digester?? I would keep this sort of thing outside of the Struts code, the Actions don't need to know where the data is coming from, they just get a DataAccessObject of some sort and tell it to go get some data. -- Wendy Smoak Applications Systems Analyst, Sr. Arizona State University, PA, IRM --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
