Hi All,
Just tried it out as defined in the struts link below and it works a treat...
You don't need to instantiate an instance of the form, as this has already been done
for you by the Struts framework before the Action is reached, and you don't need to
set the form as a request attribute.
My edit action method (the pre-populating action) is as follows:
public ActionForward execute( ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response )
throws Exception {
UserRegForm userRegForm = (UserRegForm)form;
userRegForm.setEmailAddressDisplay("defaultValue");
// return the ActionForward you use for success
return mapping.findForward("success");
}

Hi All,
Just chewing over this problem myself since it was brought up.
The solution is here I believe, yet to implement it but I'm sure it'll work.
http://struts.apache.org/faqs/newbie.html#prepopulate
Hope this helps, not sure if it repeats what has been said already.

Wendy,
True enough, the original question though revolved around prepopulating the
form from the DB before getting to the view of the submitting page so that
initial page would have data pre-populated. :)

Struts will instantiate the ActionForm and place it in the correct scope
according to your struts-config.xml setup. All you have to do is use the
'form' object that's passed into your 'execute' (or similar) method, setting
values as necessary. You have a reference to the form, you don't have to
worry about where it lives, or put it anywhere.
