Thanks! As Frank sayes if I can use the action as a normal class then I am comfortable with writing a method to or using the execute method. If I use the execute method what would I pass in as my action mapping??
For the actionForm I can pass my form which I hold in the session. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Gainty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 October 2005 15:17 To: Shoukat,F,Faisal,JPGA8Y C Cc: user@struts.apache.org Subject: Re: chaining actions i think!! I am unsure if you want to chain actions as this would not conform to Action1->ActionForward1 where the design is meant to handle one action at a time store it as session variable and access it later Action... execute(... HttpSession session = request.getSession(); session.setAttribute("username", username); test for presence of session.getAttribute("username") and result if not null prepopulate your form with the value Anyone else ?

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.
