I see what you are saying about using the ActionForm.. The forward I'm mapping to is not a Struts action but a servlet mapping specified in the web.xml.. It's an older servlet created before we started using struts so it does have to get the required parameters from the request object
-----Original Message----- From: None None [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 2:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: forwarding to action needing different request parameters I'm pretty new to Struts, and it's entirely possible I'm not following what your saying, but... If the first Action is getting an ActionForm with the four parameters populated, you can simply instantiate the second Action, passing it the ActionForm, and then return from the first Action the ActionForward returned by the second (or to another of the first, whatever you need). Likewise, you can always instantiate your own ActionForm instance and pass that to the second Action, setting it up however you wish. If I'm getting what your saying, I think it's as easy as that. But, it sounded like you are maybe grabbing the request parameters directly from the request object instead of using an ActionForm... if that's the case, there's still nothing to stop you from using an ActionForm for the second Action as input. That way you could populate the original request parameters, or put new values in their place, whatever you want. I can tell you that adding parameters to the request object it not allowed, although I remember something about that being added in a later servlet spec. I do not know what version it IS allowed in, if that version even exists yet. >From: "Nimmons, Buster" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "Struts2 (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: forwarding to action needing different request parameters >Date: Wed, 12 May 2004 13:55:52 -0500 > >I have an Action which is usualy accessed from an html form page...
