Hi Rick,
I am using Struts 1.2. Unless Struts 1.3 provides something special on this
aspect,
following is my understanding :
a) If you have a bean that is NOT an actionForm, then you HAVE TO explicitly
put it in request scope using request.setAttribute("mybean",mybean);
to access it in the jsp
However, if the bean was actually an ActionForm and was mentioned in any
actionMapping (in struts-config.xml)
under "name" attribute, it would go in the scope mentioned by "scope"
attribute (session scope by default)
- this would happen without you have to write any java code in Action class
for doing this.
Now if I wanted to make the bean available beyond request scope
b) that you can do using the following code snippet
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
session.setAttribute("mybean",mybean);
Can someone please confirm (a) above.
hope that helps,
robin

I'm trying to understand how and when beans are available within struts.
(1.3.5)
For example, if my Action class contains code like:
MyBean mybean = new MyBean() // NOT an ActionForm, just a regular bean
I would have thought (and the docs suggest) that I would need something
like
request.setAttribute("mybean", mybean);
in order to use this bean in the jsp that the action eventually forwards
to. But I don't...the bean seems to automatically be available to the
jsp.
Now if I wanted to make the bean available beyond request scope, then
would I need to use the request.setAttribute?
