Messages are stored since you use RedirectMessageInterceptor. Action property Data is not retained during redirect.
Try following scenarios, Method1: So you need to set explicitly from Action property to ActionContext in Action1 and Need to retrive from the context and set to properties in Action2. Method2: Try to use alias interceptor and put alias through the <param> tag in struts.xml of Action1 and Action2 properties as below. <param name="aliases">#{ 'action1Property1' : 'action2Property1', 'action2Property2' : 'action2Property2'}</param> <interceptor-ref name="alias"/> Method3: Have you tried chain instead of redirectaction and use same properties in Action1 and Action2.

When the user click the button on the page, depend on the string return from the action method the page will be display and is configured in the struts.xml file as mention below. <action name="determineCaseEvaluationType" class="com.activity.EvaluateCaseAction" method="determineCaseEvaluationType"> <result name="guidelInitConsid" type="tiles">editGuidelinesCaseEvaluation</result> <result name="shrtsntcInitConsid" type="tiles">editShortSentenceCaseEvaluation</result> <result name="sscat2p1InitConsid" type="tiles">editShortSentenceCaseEvaluation</result> </action> step 2. There are fields in the pages like 10 text boxes 2 drop down and 2 radio buttons , when I fill all the field and click submit it will do the neccessary business operation and return the string to which page is to display, and is mention in the struts.xml file as mention below <action name="saveInitConsiderationEval" class="com.activity.EvaluateCaseAction" method="saveInitConsiderationEval"> <interceptor-ref name="redirectInput"/> <result name="success" type="redirect-action"> determineCaseEvaluationType </result> <result name="input" type="redirect-action"> determineCaseEvaluationTypeForInput </result> </action> step 3. : when valiations fails I need to determine on which page validations failed and hence I am forwarding the the input to method which it will determine what page to be displayed. <action name="determineCaseEvaluationTypeForInput" class="us.ga.state.pap.cons.clemency.presentation.action.activity.EvaluateCa seAction" method="determineCaseEvaluationTypeForInput"> <result name="guidelInitConsid" type="tiles">editGuidelinesCaseEvaluation</result> <result name="shrtsntcInitConsid" type="tiles">editShortSentenceCaseEvaluation</result> <result name="sscat2p1InitConsid" type="tiles">editShortSentenceCaseEvaluation</result> </action> I hope you got the sicenario , Its tofugh to explain whatz going on in the mind !
