Lisa,
I haven't tried it myself, but according to the doc for the html:link tag,
you can specify a bean that returns a map which specifies all of the
parameters... the contents of that bean clearly could change between
invocations, thus giving you dynamic parameters...
Hope this helps -
Margaret

Subject: dynamic forwards
Hi all,
I am having the exact same problem as Chiji, so I have just copied and
pasted a bulk of his email (Sorry Chiji) . Im literally pulling my hair out
over this one. Chiji, if you have solved the problem let me know or point
me in the right direction.
Thanks

Hi,
Im in a bit of dilema, 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.
