Yes, quite possibly that was the problem. You'll see in my reply to Erik how I got around the issue. Thanks for your help!

I've got some "forgot password" functionality working, and the last piece of that is to set a new password for the user who has successfully answered their security question. For that action, I use a "forgotPasswordForm" form bean, which goes to my "newPasswordAction". That's all working fine, and the new password is getting saved to the DB as expected. Now I'd like to take that username and new password and pass them over to my normal login action, so that the user doesn't have to reenter their username and password again: they just get logged in normally. The loginAction needs the loginForm, so I'm instantiating a loginForm, populating with the new username and password, and then saving it to the request object in my newPasswordAction. However, I always get a validation error saying that username and password are required, so I've got something wrong someplace. Does anyone see it? Here's the new code in setPasswordAction: LoginForm loginForm = new LoginForm(); loginForm.setUser(userID); loginForm.setPassword(forgotPasswordForm.getNewPassword()); request.setAttribute("loginForm", loginForm); Here are some fragments of struts-config.xml: <form-bean name="loginForm" type="com.xxx.application.tbm.core.forms.LoginForm"/> <action path="/login/perform" type="com.xxx.application.tsm.common.actions.LoginAction" name="loginForm" scope="request" validate="true" input="login"> <forward name="success" path="/disclaimer/show.do" redirect="true"/> <forward name="error" path="/login/show.do" redirect="true"/> </action> <action path="/forgot/setNewPwd" type="com.xxx.application.tbm.b2b.actions.NewPasswordAction" name="forgotPasswordNewForm" scope="request" validate="true" input="forgot_password_setNew"> <forward name="success" path="/login/perform.do"/> <forward name="error" path=".main.forgot.setNewPwd"/> </action> loginForm extends ValidatorForm, and both user and password are required in validation.xml, which is where my error messages appear to be coming from. I tried using a fully qualified name for loginForm (as in the form-bean declaration), but that didn't help either. Any suggestions? Thanks!
