Subject: Per-Populating Form (Take 2)
Hi All,
I had previously posted a mail about prepopulating the
form before it is presented to the user.
My take on this is :
1.ActionForm will have a method called
init(HttpServletRequest req).
In this init method we can use any request parameters
to initilize the form the very first time like this
public void init(ActionMapping mapping ,
HttpServletRequest request)
{
if (! initialized) {
doInit(mapping,request);
initialized = true;
}
}
doInit() will be app specific method for prepopulating
the form before presenting it to user.
2.Action Servlet will need an extra line to accomodate
this.
In the processPopulate method the last line would be
formInstance.init(mapping,request)
Does this sound reasonable to folks ?
Or am I being a moron and there is some other way of
acheving this ?
Your suggestions are welcome.
Srikanth
