I'm attempting to use a hidden form field to save the database record's key for an update, and I have a question on whether I'm approaching this correctly. Maybe there is a better way within the webwork framework.
I have a url link something like updatestatus.action?statusReportId=44, which goes to the UpdateStatus Action The UpdateStatus Action sees the incoming statusReportId without any other data and then populates the data for that key into the UpdateStatus class's attributes, then returns INPUT, which loads a jsp page with a form for the record, populated with the values off the database. The user makes changes, then the form posts back to the UpdateStatus Action, only this time, the data values are populated along with the recordId, so the record is updated. To get the recordId passed through, I first used a regular text field via the custom ww tags: <ui:textfield label="'status report id'" name="'statusReportId'"/> And it worked fine Then I looked for a way to hide the field, and couldn't find anything, so I tried the standard INPUT element, as such: <input type="hidden" name="statusReportId" value="<webwork:property value="statusReportId"/>"/> And this worked. So I have 2 questions: 1. Is this a good approach, or is there a better way to handle the statusReportId field 2. If a hidden field is the way to go, is there an appropriate WW tag for this, or do I have to use the <input type="hidden" tag construct. Thanks.
