That's how I do it most of the time. If your POJO is in session scope, your Action won't even have to do anything.
I usually only use ActionForm when there's a corresponding HTML <form>. If I'm just displaying data on the page, I just pass the POJO. Hubert On 7/18/06, Mississippi John Hurt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
But what if my jsp page that I want to display the DAO info is a read only page ie. doesn't have an <html:form> element on it? Would I still populate the ActionForm and use it to display or would I just pass a regular POJO to jsp and use <bean:write> or jsp or scriptlet to display?
