Hi When your users request the list, the request goes to an action...
The action calls the appropriate things to get the data... It then stuffs the information into the session and forwards the request to a JSP page The JSP page pulls the data out, builds the page and sends it back to the user... Does that help? -----Original Message----- From: struts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 12:25 PM To: struts-user Subject: Best Practice Question/Conceptual Problem Subject: Best Practice Question/Conceptual Problem From: "Kenny Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> === Hello, I'm trying to write my first struts application, and I'm looking for guidance on how to accomplish a certain task. I've read through the Struts Userguide and I've been going through the struts-example application, but I'm not exactly sure what concept I'm missing that is keeping me from wrapping my head around the problem. I have a list of "markets" in a database table. I have a Market bean that can be instantiated to represent a row in the table, and it has static methods for finding markets by id, creating markets, etc. I would like my user to be able to click a "List Active Markets" link and have it take them to a page where it lists the markets. Seems simple enough, but I can't figure out how to make the data available to my JSP page. I assume I should use a logic:iterate tag to display data for each of the markets, but I just don't understand how I make the data available to the JSP or logic:iterate tag. I've been reading and reading, and I can't figure it out, there seems to be some piece missing. Can anyone help me? This seems like a fairly basic/common action, so is there anyone out there that has suggestions for the "best practice" solution?
