Do you use a link for delete event? If yes, this might be a problem. Link does not submit a form, therefore when the form is reloaded after redirect, its content is gone. Use a button for deletion. Stick this button in the same HTML form that contains typed data that you want to save. When button is activated, its respective event handler is triggered, which is what you need. But at the same time the HTML form is submitted to the server. Struts wil try to populate the corresponding ActionForm with request values. Therefore, your action that handles delete event must work with the form that receives admin data. This ActionForm must have session scope to retain data between requests. Of course you can also use Javascript to submit form from the link, but you said you don't like using Javascript. Another thing, if you do not like how pushbutton looks, you can make it look like a link with a little CSS.
