Here's what you are trying to do

  index.jsp=20
    -> redirects to
  index.do
    -> needs to build a bunch'o forms
    -> forwards to
  home.jsp

Am I understanding you correctly?

The action corresponding to the path "index" can create any number of =
form-beans and persist them in any scope before forwarding to home.jsp.  =
Now home.jsp, has several <html:form>s; which implicitly means that it =
expects several form-beans.  These are available courtesy the =
aforementioned action.

Where are you running into a problem?

Sri

I know that the prepopulate question has been beaten into the ground =
around here and the answer on the FAQ page is complete in answering most =
questions I have about the concept.  But I just want to run something by =
this list, see if I am going about it in the right way.

When you are designing an application, and the index page has several =
mini-forms (such as a limited search, a login and maybe a site index) =
the first page has to be a *.do page.  So I figured, make an index.jsp =
page with

<logic:redirect page=3D"/index.do"/>

Then my /index action would prepare the forms and display /home.jsp. The =
FAQ talks about putting the form population in the Action class for the =
/index action, which works great...

...except, how would you populate more than one form?  Seems like in the =
cast you limit yourself to the form defined in the action mapping.  =
Would it be necessary to just set up an action chain?
