Re: Form fields submitted multiple times...
If you are using the ValidatorForm, another good trick is to key off the
page property it provides.
In the reset function, put in a wrapper like this:
if (getPage()==0) {
setForward(null);
setName(null);
setTelephone(null);
setNumber(null);
};
This will keep the fields from being reset when you are in Wizard mode
and using multiple pages. You can also use it to provide a quick and
easy readonly mode. Just call
setPage(1);
in your Action before forwarding it.
Also works great in the Config if you are relaying actions. Just pass
?page=1 as part of the URI.

If you do not want your ActionForm to be repopulated from the request as
you forward it around, the workaround is to put an readonly property on
the form. The public setters for your properties can then check this to
see if they should allow changes or not. The first action can then set
the ActionForm to readonly before forwarding it along.
public void setProperty(String property) {
if (isMutable()) {
this.property = property;
}
}
There's a SuperForm class in the Scaffold package in the contrib
folder that demonstrates this and some other techniques
[org.apache.scaffold.http.SuperForm].

In our JSP, we have several buttons pertaining to the same form
(thisActionForm). Depending on which button was pressed, a different
action mapping is invoked from Struts:
action path=/handleButtons type=HandleButtonsAction
name=thisActionForm validate=false scope=session input=/home.jsp
forward name=updateDetailsButton
path=/updateDetails.do/
forward name=resetDetailsButton
path=/resetDetails.do/
forward name=calculateButton
path=/calculateAmounts.do/
forward name=deleteButton
path=/deleteDetails.do/
/action
action path=/resetDetails type=ResetDetailsAction name=thisActionForm
validate=false scope=session input=/home.jsp
forward name=success
path=/calculateAmounts.do/
/action
action path=/calculateAmounts type=CalculateAmountsAction
name=thisActionForm validate=false scope=session input=/home.jsp
forward name=success path=/details.jsp/
/action
We see the fields entered/changed in thisActionForm set before entering
the HandleButtonsAction class.
We also see the same field values set again before entering the
ResetDetailsAction class, as if the HTML form has been submitted a second
time.
The ResetDetailsAction resets some date fields on thisActionForm, by
invoking various Set methods.
We then see the original field values set a third time before entering the
CalculateAmountsAction class, clearing out the values reset in the
ResetDetailsAction
As anyone seen anything similar?
Is there an attribute we could use in the action element that would disallow
the form from submitting again and again and again?
Our current work around is to not use thisActionForm on any other actions,
except the HandleButtonsAction, and just grab thisActionForm off of the
session in ResetDetailsAction and CalculateAmountsAction, but we feel
that there's an easier way.
Sorry for the novel...
