I actually think I'm going to be able to get around the problem. We're going to do new sort of browsing interface so I won't have to use the form with multiple submits. Thanks for all the help though, the tips will come in handy I'm sure.

Older builds just threw an exception if LDA didn't find a parameter for method. You can overide the execute() but you might just as well write your own action. DispatchAction works differently. Newer builds of struts have modified the behavior of LDA. besides it is sort of fun to see how the things actually work. --mas Kamholz, Keith (corp-staff) USX wrote: >You know I was just thinking about doing "/foo.do?method" when I read your >post.
