RE: dynamic form action flow
Actually, it doesn't. I've been through that example pretty thouroughly. To add a new subscription, it puts up a form with only the fields for the new subscription (a separate page). It doesn't dynamically new form fields to an existing page. -Original Message- From: Jon.Ridgway [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 2:05 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: dynamic form action flow Hi Jeff, The struts-example.war app does just this, except it uses subscriptions instead of phone numbers.

I've tried going straight to the display page and then I get the new, blank element and form, but lose the prior existing form fields (home phone). -Original Message- From: Ted Husted [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 4:14 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: dynamic form action flow SavePhoneNumberAction.java -- editPhoneNumbers.do It may be that this is looking up the original phone number again.

RE: dynamic form action flow
I figured this out finally, thanks to the Vectors in Form thread today, which turned out to be similar It was 2 things: 1) The scope in my struts-config was request and should have been session. 2) Upon adding a new blank object to the ArrayList for re-display, instead of forwarding to the editPhoneNumbers.do action, directly re-display the jsp. -Original Message- From: Jeff Oberlander Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 7:39 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: dynamic form action flow I've tried going straight to the display page and then I get the new, blank element and form, but lose the prior existing form fields (home phone). -Original Message- From: Ted Husted [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 4:14 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: dynamic form action flow SavePhoneNumberAction.java -- editPhoneNumbers.do It may be that this is looking up the original phone number again.
