preselect dropdown
Hello, I have an edit.jsp where a user can edit message details. So for example, if a message has a start date (day,month, year) these fields can be updated by user. The problem is that I have dropdowns for month and day. I would like it if the dropdown for month could be prepolutated with the value the user has allready saved before. So for example it could be prepoluted with February and the user can select another value from the dropdown if he/she wishes to change it. Any ideas/hints/code would be helpful, thanks, Anna - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Trouble with struts validator
Why do you have a testAction? When you configure validation.xml and validator-rules.xml (see Apache/Struts/Validator documentation) you don't need to write an Action Class. Also, why do you have failure/success forwards? Upon a failure, the validation will automatically forward your page to the input you specified in your struts-config siteForm.jsp , with the errors redisplayed. If you post some code, maybe we can help more...

RE: populate html:select
Yes, I was using the old option tag but now html:option works like a charm... thanks :) From: Wendy Smoak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 01/10/2004 4:03 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: populate html:select From: Anna Kerekes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just the select list information is gone, all the textbox information is preserved on the form. Thanks for confirming that. If you want Struts to remember the selected items, then you MUST use Struts tags to display those items, html:option and html:options in this case. Both of those tags have an array of attributes, and it's not always clear which ones you need to use in combination to make it do what you want. The simplest thing to do would be to change all of your option tags to html:option tags. From your original note, it looks like you're hard-coding the options as plain-old-HTML option tags.

input form
Hello, I have a jsp (create.jsp), a form-bean (CreateMessageForm.java), and an action (CreateMessageAction.java). Currently, the user inputs their info into create.jsp, hits 'submit', and the action gets the info from the form-bean and does stuff with it. Instead, I would like to get some information( collections) from a database and populate create.jsp with them. So I would like to: - get a collection from the database - put this collection into the request - populate create.jsp from the request object - let the user edit the form (including the pre-populated parts) - hit submit - CreateMessageAction gets info from form-bean and does stuff... Do I have to write a separate Action class for putting the collection (from database) into the request object?

populate html:select
Hello, I am using struts validation to validate an input form. In my jsp I have: html:select property=effectiveDay option value=1 selected1 option value=22 option value=33 option value=44 /html:select The form is filled out. After I hit the submit button Struts validation is run and the input form is displayed again with the errors on the form. The problem is that the value selected from the drop-down menu (i.e. html:select) before the submit button was hit is NOT preserved on the form with the validation errors. So the user has to re-enter whatever value he/she entered before validation. This is annoying..is there a way I can make it so that the hmtl:select could be populated with the value that was entered before (if any). I suspect that this value is stored somewhere (in request scope?) but I'm not sure how to get it. What is strange is that other fields on my input form are preseved (i.e. textboxes, and textareas) but not drop-down menus, checkboxes, and file. any help appreciated, Anna:) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi to everyone!
I have already used taglibs before but I am having some trouble making
jstl core 1.1.1 taglib to evaluate expression languages on Tomcat 5.0.27.
I have all of the required libraries on WEB-INF/lib/ (jstl, standard,

HTTPServletRequest object
Hello, I'm assuming that a request object is the same for a jsp and the associated Action Class. Why is it that when I try to get a parameter in the jsp I get the correct (expected) value: out.println(Message id from request(parameter): '+request.getParameter(messageId)+'); But when I try to get the same parameter, in the same way, from the corresponding Action Class, the parameter value is null. The jsp is basically just an input form, and the Action class processes the information retrieved. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, I've tried to look at the action-mappings-element in struts-config.xml but the scope is correctly set to request.
