Extending DynaActionForm

[Erez Efrati]

Hi,

Using DynaActionForm and DispatchAction it would have been helpful ift
there was a way to create a BaseForm extending the DynaActionForm, which
always adds the 'method' property to the DynaForm. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Erez

Extending DynaActionForm to prevent reset

[Etienne Labont]

Hi,

I have a session-scoped form that spans on many tabbed pages. Once data is
entered on one or many pages I want to be able to switch back to any page
using the tabs. The tabs point (GET) to the same action that handles
postbacks. A problem I had with this was the reset method of the associated
form being called upon tabbing... The way I found to prevent this is to
extend the DynaActionForm and override the reset methods so they do nothing.
I wrote my own altReset method that I call when the user actually wants to
reset the form. If there are better ways to do this, please tell me. Also
what do people think about adding an attribute to action mappings to control
this behavior. It could be something like:
formReset=(auto/never/beforeGET)

I did the same.

You can set any properties for your ActionForm with the set-property tag in 
the struts-config.xml. Check the DTD.

Yes simply subclass it and add your custom validate() and reset() methods.
Make sure you have dynamic=true when you define the form bean in
struts-config.xml (unless you are running the nightly build) where this is
no longer required.

 Is it possible to extend the DynaActionForm or something similar into a
 new Form Bean?

 What I want to do is have an object for a formbean, but be able to add
 in my own validate and reset code...

 The things I have tried have not worked for me...
