Hi, You should use request.getParameter("name") request.getParameter("age")
to get the values from the request. I don't think the values set through through query string will be set to ActionForm automatically. In this case you should explicitly call the setter methods of the ActionForm and then set the new ActionForm object to session with the same name that was used in the action element attribute "attribute" in struts-config.xml.

I have the values for name and age before sending the request. That is, my URL would look like http://localhost:8080/vijay/submit.do?name=xyz&age=22 I have a form that sets the values of age and name which is then accessed in a html page using bean:write. In the html page, the user will enter the description in the corrosponding textarea. The action is set to /submit.do. Since I am only sending the description in the http request, only the setDescription() method should be called and it happens so. The problem is when I try to access the age and name variables from the ActionForm in the Action class, I get null. Why so? I am not setting age and name after submitting the form, they are already set. The form is in session scope, so shouldn't it be re-used. Or am I understanding it in-correctly. regards, vijay.
