Urgent! Action and forms

[Saritha Penumudi]

Hi,

Can I have more than one form associated with one action?.

I have a scenario where I have a search form, entry form. I want to make use of DispatchAction to search, Add/Update/Delete. In this case I will have two ActionForm that is searchForm and EntryForm.
<form-bean name="CreateErrorMessageActionForm" type="demo.struts.CreateErrorMessageActionForm" />
<form-bean name="SearchErrorMessageActionForm" type="demo.struts.SearchErrorMessageActionForm" />

<action input="/index.jsp" path="/messages" scope="request"
name="CreateErrorMessageActionForm"
type="demo.struts.MessageDispatchAction" parameter="methodToCall">
<forward name="continueList" path="/ListMessages.jsp" />
<forward name="modifyMessage" path="/ModifyMessage.jsp" />
</action>

How will I be able to configure these two forms to one action?

How this can be acheived?

early replys would be appreciated. this is kind of an urgent

Thank you very much
Saritha

I definitely don't know the answer but if u want it urgent, why don't u use a single action form?

If I don't get any solution for my question, then I think I would probably go with having single form for my search and entry forms. But I feel this is just kind of manipulating as some of the fields in my form bean will always be null. I mean object will never be complete or contain complete information. with this approach I am not sure if there will be problems between requests.
