Faisal, Why are you making different action classes for Search and Edit functionality. You can have these method in one Action class itself and then you can call the 'search action mapping' from 'edit action mapping' defined in struts-config.xml. If you want more detail that how to do it, let me know.

Hi, Is there a way that I can call another action from within a action class. Is it as simple as just calling the execute method of the other action or another method of the action class as is required.? My scenario is as follows: A user searches on a client and is returned a number of results. He then chooses to edit one of the results and goes to the edit jsp. After editing the user has the option of returning back to the search results. To show the record that has been edited I am making another trip to the DB as I don't have a cache. To return back to the results the user clicks on his button and is forwarded to the edit Action class. It is from this action class that I want to call the search Action class passing in the search form which is held in the session. This will then go to the DB and return to the appropriate search jsp. Any one any views on this Thanks
