Hello:

I have a STRUTS app that has an intro.jsp page. Said page has a number of links 
but the one I'm interested in goes like this:

<html:link forward="results">View Results</html:link>

In my struts config.xml file I have a global forwards:

<forward name="/results" path="/results.do" />

And a form bean:

<form-bean name="result" type="com.web.forms.ResultBean" />

And an action mapping:

<action path="/results"
                name="result"
                scope="request"
                        type="com.web.actions.Results" 
input="/pages/new_result.jsp">
                        <forward name="success" path="/pages/new_result.jsp" />
                </action>

What I want to do is pre populate several fields on the new_result.jsp page by 
using the setters from my ResultBean.

With in my action class I cast my bean and then use the setters but when the 
page is displayed the fields are empty.

I can populate by using the default reset method but this isn't what I want. 
How can I get a handle on the bean so as to pre populate those fields.

Any help would be appreicated.

Jim
