That's how java works. Java copies and passes the reference by value. So assignments to a copy of the reference will not change the original object. Refer: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javaqa/2000-05/03-qa-0526-pass.html > Both these methods would be called from an action class. > > Function void useMyForm(ActionForm form){ > SomeFormClass myForm = new SomeFormClass(); > myForm.setName("Blah"); > myForm.setAge("289"); > etc... > > form = myForm; The above assignment doesn't modify the original form once you are out of this method, since it is a copy of the reference.
