Before you ask, yes I have serched the archive for answers ;-)
My problem is this: I have a page that displays the results of a database inquiry
using a custom tag. The user selects one of the displayed entries using a radio
button and the selected information gets sent to another action (this works OK.) That
action uses that information in a new select statement and creates a new form bean,
populates it, puts it into the session, and sends it all back out to a new JSP (AFAIK
this works OK but I haven't been able to verify.) The idea is that that JSP will
explode the bean displaying the results in a prepopulated form that can then be edited
and submitted.
My problem is getting the information out of the populated form bean. I am populated
it and putting it into the session myself within the action. I have tried all combos
of <bean:write> and <html:text> I can think of in the JSP. If I try to use
value="formBeanName.propertyName" then the actual text ("formBeanName.propertyName")
gets displayed, not the value in the property.
My action for this JSP is defined in struts-config as:
*******************************
<action path="/editquestions"
type="survey.EditQuestionsAction"
name="editQuestionsForm"
scope="request"
input="/editquestions.jsp">
<forward name="success" path="/editquestions.jsp"/>
</action>
*******************************
I realize that the forward path will need to change.
my form bean is defined as:
*******************************
<form-bean name="editQuestionsForm"
type="survey.EditQuestionsForm"/>
*******************************
And in the JSP the lates I have tried is:
*******************************
<html:form action="/editquestions" >
<html:text name="editQuestionsForm" property="surveyId" value="<%=
editQuestionsForm.getSurveyId() %> >
</html:text>
</html:form>
*******************************
Any help/advice/pointers to resources would be appreciated. Even if pointers to
specific messages on the list. I searched the archive using "prepoulated forms" among
others.
Thank you
