I have an action Page.do that gets 3 lists from a database. It then places the lists inside a bean which is set in the request. The Page.jsp iterates thru the bean to display the data.
The form is posted to the PageSubmit.do.
But before the PageForm.validate() is executed.
Assume that an error is found...
The response is returned
And this is where my bean is lost. Why?
(As mentioned your form bean won't be lost but the lists you put into the request would be. That's the nature of the request/response lifecycle).
I do not want to store thr bean in the HTTP Session.
This is why I'm not so fond of the way Struts handles default validation with the validation framework - this problem comes up all the time in an application. In a case like this, I would opt for not having validate="true" in your config file for this action, and in instead manually call the validate method in your action. Then if validation fails you can make a query to yoru dao to return your Lists and forward back to the page. Probably best if you had a setUp() method in your Action which can be called to do this setup. You'd call it of course the first time you need to present the form, and then after manually calling the validate() method on the form, and validation fails, you'd call it again.
