Thanks Andrew, my question was more about how to handle the business logic / presentation layer behind the scenes. My point is that I don't want to have 20 JSPs and and mappings for each of the fields to be updated - I'd like to have 1 JSP to update text field, 1 JSP to update a select list .etc... But the data to be displayed in the first place (current value, to be updated) and the totle of the page to change depending on what field is to be updated... Is there an easy way to wrap this all together? Many thanks.
