----- Original Message ----- From: Andre Mermegas To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1.) An action has 10 properties on it; I want these properties to be available for the life of the HttpSession for other views to use, and I want them accessible in a beanlike manner, In order to accomplish this I have to do the following as far as I can tell. Write a bean that has the same property code basically as inside the action; populate it with the info from the action's properties. Place that bean into the HttpSession inside my action, and proceed
This feels very kludgey to me, so I must be thinking incorrectly. My question is there a better way to do this? The only thing I can think of is to not have the properties on the Action, but in its own bean to begin with via Beanutils, and then add that to the session. ---------------------------- Hi Andre, Putting the properties in its own bean would work fine. However when you write that you would do this "via BeanUtils", I suspect that you mean you would write your own code for this using "BeanUtil.setProperties"? (I know there is one example doing that). Just so you know, you do not have to do that manually. You can let WW do it for you. Just set the names to something like "myBean/oneProperty", for example: <input type="hidden" name="myBean/oneProperty" value="abc"/> That would be similar to: myAction.getMyBean().setOneProperty("abc"); Cheers, Dick [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Opensymphony-webwork mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opensymphony-webwork
