i tried chaining but that did not work as expected. but then i used prepare interceptor and it was piece of cake. i just had to move the code out to a helper class to prepare the list for dropdown and call that helper method from both 1st and 2nd actions. If anyone wants to know exactly how it works just refer to http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11.1/docs/prepare-interceptor.html
