Re: How do I populate a DynaValidatorForm?
DynaActionForms are not a drop-in replacement for ActionForms. If you need to access ActionForm properties in your Action, you will need to use the map-style accessor, like myForm.get(name). If you actively use the ActionForm object in your Action, then you may want to use conventional ActionForms instead. Why aren't you just using ActionForms? To be honest, I never use DynaActionForms. Sure, there's an extra Java class that needs to be written, but I find it easier to write an ActionForm class than write out a XML descriptor for a DynaActionForm. Plus it's easier to unit test a concrete class than one that assumes its properties at runtime. If you're too lazy (like me) to actually write the ActionForm class, just use XDoclet to generate one for you. cheers, Pratik - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: How do I populate a DynaValidatorForm?
Where do you specify the @struts.form-field (0..*) tags so that XDoclet creates the form for you? Right now, I have a hand coded form and XDoclet creates the form-bean/ section of my struts-config for me, but I'm not creating the actual ActionForm subclass with XDoclet. -Original Message- From: Pratik Patel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 26, 2003 06:53 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How do I populate a DynaValidatorForm?

Right now, I have a hand coded form and XDoclet creates the form-bean/ section of my
struts-config for me, but I'm not creating the actual ActionForm subclass with XDoclet.
In my domain objects; here's the objects from a Struts app I'm currently
working on:
Domain Object XDoclet Generated ActionForm
UserUserForm
Forum ForumForm
PostPostForm
Thread ThreadForm
Sample domain object:
package org.sourceforge.jwebforum.model;
import java.util.Date;
/**
* @struts.form include-all=true
* extends=org.sourceforge.jwebforum.webapp.form.BaseForm
*/
public class User {
private String password;
private String email;
private Date signupdate;
private String firstname;
private String lastname;
private String username;
private long userid;
public User(String password, String email, java.sql.Timestamp
signupdate, String firstname, String lastname, String username, long
userid) {
this.password = password;
this.email = email;
this.signupdate = signupdate;
this.firstname = firstname;
this.lastname = lastname;
this.username = username;
this.userid = userid;
}
public User() {
}
/** Password of the user.
* @struts.validator type=required msgkey=errors.required
*/
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
...
I hope to have this Struts application uploaded to sourceforge within
two weeks (with full source, of course). It's still undergoing some
refactoring, but I can send you the current snapshot if you're interested.
cheers,
Pratik

How do I populate a DynaValidatorForm?
With an Action Form we do the following: form = new UserForm(); form.setUserid(5); What is the equivalent for a DynaValidatorForm? Let's say my DynaValidatorForm is myForm Of course this does not work (compiler does not know what myForm is.) DynaValidatorForm dynaForm = (DynaValidatorForm)myForm; myForm.setUserid(5); Thanks, Barry - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: How do I populate a DynaValidatorForm?
In the Action itself, there is a form object already created. Then this should work inside the action: ( ( DynaActionForm ) form ).set( Constants.USER_ID_KEY, 5); --- Thanks Mick Knutson http://www.baselogic.com +001(805) 563-0666 Office +001 (708) 570-2772 Fax --- - Original Message - From: Barry Volpe [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Struts Users Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2003 2:16 PM Subject: How do I populate a DynaValidatorForm?

Re: How do I populate a DynaValidatorForm?
Hi Mick, This does not appear to be working. I was also wondering let's say in my struts-config I have two different DynaValidator forms defined. Both forms have the same property say units. I am not using a Constants. but how would it know which units needs to be populated?

Re: How do I populate a DynaValidatorForm?
Each JSP will have 1 DynaForm assigned to a given form. So the formA.units is different than forB.units in the DynaForm. So, when you submit a form, there is just 1 Dynaform that is submitted. Or in your case you want to show formA DynaForm with forma.units. --- Thanks Mick Knutson http://www.baselogic.com +001(805) 563-0666 Office +001 (708) 570-2772 Fax --- - Original Message - From: Barry Volpe [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Struts Users Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2003 2:35 PM Subject: Re: How do I populate a DynaValidatorForm?
