Re: Action input
Is there a way of providing the action input in a dynamic fashion? In other words, if I had the same action being submitted from multiple pages/forms, how would I go back to the page/form I came from? I create distinct mapping for each page/form on which the action can be reached. Each action has the same type attribute, but different path (ofcoz) and different input.

RE: Action input
The only way I found was to do the following: Turn on validate. Don't return the errors generated, put them in the request under the Globals.ERRORS_KEY. This way, the ActionServlet will not return immediately to prior page but the ErrorsTag will still know where to find the errors. Save the last action map in your form in the prior action. All you need is the string. At the start of your action pull the errors from the request, if there are any errors, and return to the mapping you saved in your prior action. Not to straight forward but not a big deal either.

Re: Action input
Well you could fake it maybe? In one.jsp point your form to action1, in two.jsp point it to action2. However in struts-config.xml just map action1 and action2 both to the same action class with appropriate input fields. This ought to work I think. (And if it doesn't, I already have an excuse..;)) But maybe you wanted a slicker solution..? Maybe there is one in Struts1.1..

Re: Action input
I actualy had a similar question before and the answer I came up with was to
describe that universal action in struts-config w/o input and forwards, then
define the views/jsp pages this action will be called from as global
forwards and then use the global forwards aliases as a value passed as
parameter to the action.
example:
in struts-config.xml
global-forwards
forward name=home path=/index.jsp/
forward name=rv path=/registrationView.jsp/
/global-forwards
action
path=/myAction
type=MyAction
name=myActionForm
scope=request
/action
public final class MyActionForm extends ActionForm {
// view
private String view;
public void setView(String val){
this.view = val;
}
public String getView(){
return view;
}
}
public final class MyAction extends Action{
public ActionForward perform(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException
{
String view = ((MyActionForm)form).getView();
...
return mapping.findForward(view);
}
}
so in your index.jsp
a href=/myAction.action?view=homeprocess/a
in registrationView.jsp
a href=/myAction.action?view=rvprocess/a
so you defined one action and the user still will not see the real view
names.
If anybody has a better solution besides extending ActionServlet , let me
know beacuse I'd like to make it more efficient.
Cheers,
Ivan

RE: Action input
Create an action that has no input and validate is false. In this action you call validate on the form and check the return value. Then create a forward using request.getRequestURI() if is fails otherwise go to a forward you have defined that matches the request.getRequestURI() or some you can easily derive from the request.getRequestURI(). -Original Message- From: harish krishnaswamy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27 February, 2003 03:30 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Action input Is there a way of providing the action input in a dynamic fashion?

Display values after validation (was RE: action input)
But by using an action path for input instead of a JSP, isn't the ActionForm reset, so you no longer have your form values to show in the JSP again?

RE: Display values after validation (was RE: action input)
It only resets numeric. For example, there is an amount property of your bean which is a Double. If you enter abc and submit, abc is reset to 0.0. To avoid this, change Double to String so struts can keep the original value.

RE: Display values after validation (was RE: action input)
Susan, since the request is being forwarded (and not redirected) , then it (the request) still contains the invalid user input and although the form is being reset, since the request still has the user input, the form fields should be repopulated with the users original (incorrect) values. robert -Original Message- From: Susan Bradeen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 8:23 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Display values after validation (was RE: action input) But by using an action path for input instead of a JSP, isn't the ActionForm reset, so you no longer have your form values to show in the JSP again?
