Re: Pre-populating ActionForms
Instead of forwarding to 'setup.jsp' that has no presentation, why not forward to 'setup.do'. If there is not presentation, and just action, shouldn't it BE an action rather than a (non)presentation component. Your setup.do action would then perform the prepopulation of the form and forward to the appropriate view component. In our current system, we are closly following this model; presentation is seperate from behavior, and it is working out very nicely.

There is no submit action on setup.jsp. bye, Mohan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, Pre-population of ActionForms seems to be tricky. How do you populate ActionForms and then take the user selection from them? Let's say I want to show some HTML options. The user selects some values. The selected values should go back into the ActionForm. Is this so difficult that I have to use JSTL(Normal java beans) for this ? The archives advise against pre-populating ActionForms because Struts has to create them. Are there tag library examples anywhere ? Tag libraries really make the Struts learning curve rather steep. bye, Mohan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
