Cant be redirecting though. If it was then one would not be able to retrieve the form object from the request attributes in the second action. My guess it that the parameters in question are being set in the first action and there isnt actually a corresponding parameter value in the request and they are then cleared by reset() prior toi hitting action 2. Is this the case Caroline?

Are you redirecting by default somehow? I know it is possible for instance with an init-param on your action servlet config in web.xml. Adam PS Andrew - limited action chaining isn't that bad.
