Try something like:
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response) throws java.lang.Exception { DynaActionForm myForm = (DynaActionForm)form; myForm.set("firstName", "bob"); String forward = "success"; ActionForward af = mapping.findForward( forward ); return af; } -----Original Message----- From: Aaron Lindsey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 29 August 2002 1:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Creating a DynaActionForm instance Hi all, I've seen this question asked a couple of times in the archives, but there weren't any answers that I could find, so I'm giving it another shot. How can I create an instance of DynaActionForm from inside an Action in order to prepopulate it with data to be displayed in a jsp form? I tried the following: DynaActionForm myForm = new DynaActionForm(); myForm.set("firstName", "bob"); A NullPointerException is thrown. Is it possible to do something like this with a DynaActionForm? Do I have to go back to the regular ActionForm to have the ability to create an instance of an ActionForm, populate it, put it on the Request, and forward to a jsp that will then use the form? Thanks.
