Re: Form beans and dispatch actions

[Ted Husted]

The mapping is how the ActionServlet knows which ActionForm class to
use. If you do not specify a form-bean in the mapping, then the
controller doesn't use an ActionForm. 

The DispatchAction is called like any other and a form-bean must be
specified in the mapping if one is to be passed to the Action.

Form beans and dispatch actions

[Kosh . Podder]

Hi,

Can someone please tell me if and how I can use DispatchAction and form beans together 
- i.e. I have a DispatchAction with multiple methods as entry points and different 
forms for different methods.

Currently it seems that form are passed in as null to the these methods, and thus I 
have to interrogate the request parameters in order to obtain the parameter values. 
However, the form bean does seem to get used - or at least my debug call in the 
constructor got printed out! Could someone explain exactly what is going on?

I currently only one action mapping definition for such an action class, without any 
form attributes set. In order for the form bean to be passed correctly, do I need to 
create multiple action mapping entries, one per form type?

Any answers would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Kosh
