Action Form does not remember values

[Rashmi Tambe]

Hi all,
I have an action form and mapping defined as follows-

<action path="/edit"
name="contactInfo"
input ="/editContact.jsp"
scope="session"
validate = "true"
type="com.mytest.editAction">
<forward
...

the action form 'ContactForm' has a validate mathod that validates the field values present in editContact.jsp. Whenever some validation fails, the control comes back to editContact.jsp. however, all the field value are cleared on the page. so i have to fill the entire page once again and submit it. Can't these values be retained? why r they cleared every time action erros are thrown?
How can u make the action form remember the values???

I just ran into the same problem this week. The fix that worked for me was removing the name and type attributes from the html:form tag in the JSP. For some reason that I haven't quite figured out yet, specifying these attributes (which I normally don't but found that apparently some folks do) in the form tag makes the Struts tags render input fields with value="" instead of the value currently in the form object.
