I am dealing with an old application which uses struts 1.2. And for some reason, we are using pure html form to submit to struts action. For example:

for the content output of testAction.do, I try to submit to itself.

Then I associate an form bean TestForm with testAction.

I am not sure how to specify the properties in the form so that it take the value from myitem1 after user click "submit"

I tried to add getMyitem1(), setMyitem1(String[] items), getSelectedMyitem1(), setSelectedMyitem1(String[] items)

Those set methods are only called when page are loaded.

I guess my understanding of ActionForm in struts 1.x must be wrong.

Please advise, thanks.
