struts and form validation

[Scott Phelps]

I have two forms that I submit both do validation, one keeps the form
entries on errors one does not.

The only thing that I can see that is different (maybe im doing something
wrong) is that I load a bean in one and not another.

ie
first one that does not keep entries on errors

<html:form action="/entry" name="curr" type="org.my.struts..myForm">


the other that does

<html:form action="/entry">

How do I make the first keep form entries on errors, and still be able to
load entries from the session?

Thanks

What do the <action> mappings in struts-config.xml look like?
I'm guessing that one has session scope, and the other, request scope.

No they are both session. Could the differenct be that one is using a bean
to populate the fields, the other is not? but even so wouldn't the fields be
popluated on the finding of the error?

They're both using a bean to populate the fields... one is using the form
bean that [I assume] you configured in struts-config.xml, and the other is
using the one that you put in the <html:form> tag.

Without seeing the <action> mappings from struts-config, it's a waste of
time for me to keep guessing. Also, what URLs are you visiting to view the
forms? Are you doing anything interesting in the Action code?
