I am not sure, what you want to show on jsp2 but let me try.. you said you want to submit some DATA from PAGE 1 then retrieve some info from database and show that data in PAGE 2
But the mapping you shown is not correct for that follow these steps 1. Create a mapping for action1 which does not take any ActionForm. 2. Forward the request from that action1 to some jsp1 which will take the input from user(i.e. searchType,age ...) 3. Create a mapping for action2 which takes a DynaValidatorForm for all the user data u received in jsp1 4. Extract the info from database using data received in DynaValidatorForm 5. Set the data in session or request scope in the form of a Bean 6. Forward the request to jsp2 7. In jsp2 show the data using <html:bean> tag or in the form of html form if you want to again send that data to some third action. --Rahul > -----Original Message----- > From: my struts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, September 30, 2005 7:19 PM > To: user@struts.apache.org > Subject: form bean population confusion > > > Hi, > > I am lost in the basics. > > Problem: When PAGE 1 DATA is submitted then (back end will > retrieve the info > from database) and PAGE 2 should be displayed with DATA.
