I'm not sure I understand what's wrong with this:
1. The load object from database is in the action's execute.
<action path="/prepareProfileEditScreen"
type="struts.actions.prepareProfileAction"
name="struts.forms.profileFormBean">
<forward name="success" path="profileEdit.jsp"/>
</action>
2. The menu choice is: Edit My Profile (for example), which invokes the action
from #1
public ActionForward execute( <signature> ) throws ...
{
String userId = request.getParameter("userId");
UserProfile up = service.getProfile( userId );
BeanUtils.copyProperties( form, up );
return "success";
}
3. The user ends up on the profileEdit.jsp page with the data filled into the
form bean.

Hi Wendy,
i have an action 'load object from database', on execute() the form bean
is filled with values from database. On success i want to forward to the jsp
to
display the object. The user can change the values and submit the jsp, the
according 'save action' stores the changed object to database. This is the
typicall way to populate and fill a form bean before the according jsp is
shown.
But i don't find a way to forward to my 'load object from database' action
because
this action has no input (no jsp) and the forward attribute of <action>
wants
a jsp. What i need is <forward name='success' action='load object from
data'>
instead of <forward name='success' path=/xyz.jsp>
Regards Andy
