struts <logic:iterat e> cannot find collection with IFrames

My iterator can find my collection when my Action class calls my jsp
directly, however when my Action class calls an html file that is set
up with IFrames (one of which is loading that same jsp), I get a
servlet error "cannot find collection".

Not usre if my issue is HTML, JSP, WebSphere or ???
Any help is very much appreciated.

This can't work. The problem is that the HTML goes to the browser, and the
browser then makes a separate request to the server. In the context of the
new request, your collection doesn't exist.

Since I don't know enough about your app, I'm not sure if this solution will
work, but:

1) In your original action, put the collection in session scope instead of
request scope (you possibly have issues here about clearing old data on
later requests)

Some recommendations on improving the code:

1) Make the iframe reference a new action (or use a dispatch action)--when
using struts, it's a good habit to make all requests go through the struts
controller.
2) Change direct references to jsp's or actions into references to global
forwards using the struts tag library--This allows flexibility in your app
and makes sure all links go through the rewriter.

Hope this helps

Thank you, Java Architect

I like DispatchAction, I'm going with that. However, I cannot seem to
have the action recognize the dispatch parameter(step1 ), the iframe
src returns to the DispatchAction execute method, not the step1 method
I've coded. new HTML follows.

Thanks again for any help
