Hi everyone,

    I need to access the ActionForm properties inside the JSP code for the same 
window. Is there any way to do this? 

Regarding this I have some doubts about the life cycle of ActionForms....

1. When exactly is the ActionForm object instantiated? Is the ActionForm object 
instantiated only on submit of the corresponding form? or is it instantiated while 
rendering the page?

2. Also I need to set some properties to default values at instantiation of the 
ActionForm. Can I simply override the ActionForm constructor in my action-form? That 
doesnt look like a good strategy since the constructor implementation in the 
ActionForm does not seem to be made for overriding as it has some code in it ( its 
simply servlet = null ).... so is it wise to simply override it? it seems a bit over 
smart idea!!! :) 

Please help me out......

thank you,
rahul
