Hi,
Im in a bit of dilema, I understand Ted's last statement. But what I don't
understand is what I should do if the parameters which are used by the
html:link (forward) tag are generated on the fly. I can't hard code all the
forwards in my config file because I don't know how may parameters there
will be in advance. Since I don't know the amount parameters in advance I
can't specify which form bean each of the actions with, appended parameter
values, should use.
This is what my problem looks like:
in config file:
<forward name="search" path="/do/search" />
<action path="/search"
name="searchForm"
input="/seach.jsp"
scope="request" />
in jsp file:
<logic:iterate id="pageNumber" name="pageList" offset="0">
<html:link forward="search" paramName="pageNumber" paramId="pageNumber>
<bean:write name="pageNumber" />
</html:link>
</logic:iterate>
<html:hidden property="pageNumber" />
when I use:
<html:link forward="search" >
it works fine and think this is because of the mapping in the config file.
I would want the forward to 'search' (/do/search) as well as the forward to
'search' and it parameters (/do/search?pageNumber=1) to use the same form
bean.
I hope this makes sense.
I am in dire need of assistance.
Thanks
