Hi All,

Still learning Struts . . .

I'm currently just trying to post my data from my .jsp to my execute
( ) method in my Action Class. For some reason, I don't see the data
from my .jsp being populated in the ActionForm form object in the
execute method when I submit my .jsp. Obviously, missing
something . . . Can someone help me out???

The .jsp, some of the struts-config.xml, and action class are shown
below:
