Hi (and sorry for the noob question) I am using a DTO object to transfer the data from the data access object. I copy that data from the Dto to the form in the action class and it works when I resubmit the page (refresh) becuase the action is triggered.
However, I can't get the action to trigger when I go to the form initially. I am a bit lost on this one even though I'm trying to understand these tutorials.

Get the data in the action class, populate the form bean from that. FormBeans are for display only. > -----Original Message----- > From: Donie Kelly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2004 9:43 AM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: Pre-populating a form from a database > > > Hi all > > > > I've been going through the tutorials at > http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Struts-Tutorial/index.html > <http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Struts-Tutorial/index.html > > which shows > how to pre-populate forms. > > > > However, as I'm new to this, is there a "proper" way to > access the database > through the form bean?
