Paul Benedict closed STR-1114.
------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
> [taglib] html:form uses 'action' not 'input' to select mapping, etc.
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: STR-1114
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/STR-1114
> Project: Struts 1
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: Nightly Build
> Environment: Operating System: All
> Platform: All
> Reporter: Hakan Soderstrom
> Priority: Minor
>
> Package org.apache.struts.taglib.html, subsection "About the form tag".
> Hope I'm getting this right, not too experienced with Struts, reading the doco
> with microscope to get my app working.
> (1) Paragraph "The name of the bean and its class can be specified as a
> property
> to the form tag..." This (i.e. the 'name' and 'type' attributes) is deprecated
> as of 1.1b3 according to the taglib reference.
> (2) Same paragraph. "If the current page is specified as the input property
> for
> an action, the name of the action is used." Inspecting
> org.apache.struts.taglib.html.FormTag.java I get the impression that the
> 'action' attribute is used to find a mapping. The 'input' attribute is not
> used
> at all for this purpose, as far as I can see. Test runs confirm that the
> mapping
> with a path that agrees with the 'action' attribute is selected. 'Agrees'
> means
> that the extension may be chopped off.
> (3) Same paragraph: "the name of the action is used." Extend the sentence to
> include "as the name attribute of the generated HTML <FORM> tag". Vital
> information.
> (4) The example after 'Here's a clip from the Struts Example configuration:'.
> The struts-config DTD requires that 'form-beans' precedes 'action-mappings'.
> The
> two should be swapped (as they indeed are in the real example configuration).
