problem in retriving value

Hi all,

i have created 2 jsp .one is login page it having separate actionform and action .After the user submit the page i have to diaplay the username in my second jsp.
How can i do that in struts .Can i get that formbean in my second jsp?Should i share the same formbean for both jsp(Struts.config.xml scop=session)
like this? is there amy other way to do this ?

Thanks in advance .

Normally you'd store some sort of user object in the session so it's available throughout the entire application.

First of all in struts 2 there is no seprate actionforms and action both are included in Action.

Anyway in jsp you have to declare the element attributes with "s:" tag

<s:textfield name="fromDate" id="fromDate" theme="simple"/>

so in Action class you needed getters and setters for "fromDate". So automatically the action class takes the parameters from JSP.
Now to transfer to next page there are 2 ways
1) From there you can assign to some attributes and you can keep them in request or session.
2) Create a seprate action forms and assign this variables to new action form in Actionclass

Thanks David ,kartik
Actually i set that user-name in session and i get it in the next page.
Is there any other way to do that in struts 1?
if i set that bean as request/session in action scope attribute in struts-config will work?
