Hi All,
I run in same issue that Jay Paulsen did weeks ago. He did not get any answer so I would like to post if back. The point is that, Action Form reset() method does nothing which for my application is find. The problem arises when, migrating to DynaActionForms, reset() methods actually resets the form, previously to fill it with request parameters. Since my form holds disabled inputs, they are not transferred in the request. As the form is reset, I loose the previous values in the parameters, so I get null data for the disabled HTML input fields. This behaviour was fine in ActionForm, since values where stored (and not reset) in the form, but is making troubles with DynaActionForms. I would be grateful if anyone can give some pointer if this is a expected performance, and which is a workaround or the way to proceed or is just a design flaw in Struts 1.1. Best regards, Adolfo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg30062.html Hello, I just started playing with DynaActionForms and have noticed that the reset method resets all properties to their initial values. This is different from the ActionForm where the reset method did nothing. In the past I've usually redirected to an action to redisplay a form that was submitted but was found to be in error. Using a subclass of ActionForm without the reset method overridden allows for the form contents to be displayed across a sendRedirect. When I substitute the ActionForm subclass with a DynaActionForm, the contents are reset and there are no request parameters to repopulate it since a sendRedirect was used. This results in an empty form for the user. So I figure I have two options - 1) don't do a sendRedirect - do a forward instead 2) Subclass DynaActionForm and override reset to do nothing (hack) My questions ... Was I doing something bad (or ignorant) by not overriding the reset method on my old ActionForm sub classes? How do you handle errors - do you just forward to the page to redisplay the form? I was doing a sendRedirect to avoid the reload/refresh problem. What's the best way to avoid the refresh/reload problem? If I choose option 2 above - am I asking for trouble? Any comments are greatly appreciated. -Jay _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
