auto populate forms from form-beans

[jonathan Greens]

hi folks,
suppose i have two forms formA and formB associated with actionA and actionB. The two forms are on the same jsp. when actionA is invoked i want to auto-populate the field b in formB, is this possible? I tried the following:
in actionA.execute():
FormB =new FormB();
formB.setB(newVal);
request.setAttribute("formB",formB);
but this doesn't work..
any idea?
thanks!!

Hi Greens

That should work .Form - bean is just another java bean .so whatever u r doing shoudl work .but the scope of that will be only with in that request
