hi
here is a simple example which involves two JSP, two form classes and an action class.Index jsp is loaded first. here you key in the username and click the ok button. it takes you to the other jsp named Accept.jsp which displays the user name. In the backend, when you click the button on index.jsp, the value of username is taken to the form bean and in the action class the data from the form bean of Index.jsp is retrieved and stored in the form bean of the Accept.jsp and the jsp is loaded. It automatically gets the data from the form bean and displays it on the Accept.jsp.
The following are the codes.
code of index.jsp..
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
