This is for you struts gurus.

I have an action that forwards to another action. It seems that the request object is not being carried forward. I specifically set reqest attributes in the first action, and in the second action they do not exist.

The end of the first action is a mapping.findForward()….that in the strust_config.xml calls another “action.do”.

I verify that I am indeed entering the second action…but my “request.getAttributes()” are all null.

Lee,
To trouble shoot this, put it in your session and see if all the sudden its working, if it is, then I think you are at the mercy of struts processing… I wish this behavior was more clearly defined… the request scope should be cleared between requests, and in this case you only have 1 request:

client -> request -> serverAction -> (nulled here!) serverAction -> reply

That is trickie… maybe you can ask on the Struts mailing list, those guys seem to know a lot about Struts 😛

Just thought I’d update the forum with the solution…which I got from the struts mailing list.

On my forward I set “redirect=false” and that solved the problem.
