Description
Within a sequence of Actions (with no intermediate user interaction), the
ActionForm is populated with the request parameters' values each time the
request is forwarded to the next Action. As a consequence, an Action B,
following an Action A, will not 'see' the ActionForm in the state Action A left
it in, but instead get as the ActionForm's properties' values, the parameters'
values provided with the HTTP request. (I.e. Action B 'sees' in the ActionForm
what, e.g., the user entered, instead of what Action A already did with it.)
Suggestion to discuss:
It might be cofigurable within the struts-config.xml to set an Action to
either 'ActionForm_population_required' (default),
or 'ActionForm_do_not_populate'.
Thank you in advance for any response!
