One subtle gotcha you should be aware of in case it bites you later: In the default interceptor stack, the prepare method is set to execute BEFORE the params from your form are read and processed into your action class. If you are relying on those form params in your prepare method to initialize values or whatever, you may get errors that look mysterious unless you step through the whole stack. There is a separate interceptor stack, "paramsPrepareParamsStack", defined to help with this problem - it has an extra Params processor that fires before Prepare to make sure all your form data is available when Prepare runs. You can see it here: http://struts.apache.org/2.2.1/docs/struts-defaultxml.html (edit the version number to fit your implementation). The stack definition is near the end, just do a search for "paramsPrepareParams". - Aaron -- Aaron Brown : aa...@thebrownproject.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org
