I am using frames (I know that its not a good practice, but I have to).
Each of these frames have separate form variables, all of which are
needed in the parent frame.

Now, the problem is that only one frame in the parent frame has a
submit button. Is there any way in which I can submit the forms of
other frames on click of the submit of this particular frame? I mean,
is there any way in which I can access the forms in JSPs of other
frames?

Thanks.
Sure. Simple example looks like:
<frameset cols="50%,50%">
<frame name="frame1" src="frame1.html"/>
<frameset rows="50%,50%">
<frame name="frame2" src="frame2.html"/>
<frame name="frame3" src="frame3.html"/>
</frameset>
</frameset>
Frame1 and Frame2 look like:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<body>
<form name="form1" action="http://www.google.com/">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Frame3 has the same form but with a submit button and the javascript
needed to submit all three forms at once:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function updateAll() {
if (window.parent) {
window.parent.frame1.document.forms['form1'].submit();
window.parent.frame2.document.forms['form1'].submit();
document.forms['form1'].submit();
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1" action="http://www.google.com/" onsubmit="return
updateAll();">
<input type="submit" value="Update"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
