Hello,
I know that my question might sound naive but I realy need your help.
Unfortunately I couldn't find out from the archieves what I'm doing wrong.
So here I go.
I need to submit a form (SearchForm) retrieve some data from the database depending on
the values entered in the SearchForm
(SearchFormAction)and then edit the data returned by the query in the
database(userform.jsp). This is how I have implemented the previous.
struts-config
==============
<!-- Edit mail subscription -->
<action path="/search"
type="ait.app.SearchFormAction"
name="searchForm"
scope="request"
validate="false">
<forward name="success" path="/editUser"/>
</action>
<action path="/editUser"
type="ait.app.EditUserAction"
name="userForm"
scope="request"
validate="false">
<forward name="success" path="/userform.jsp"/>
</action>
SearchFormAction
================
data.createpool();
data.open("SELECT * FROM "+role+" WHERE username='"+id+"'"); //get the data form
database
.........................................
servlet.getServletContext().setAttribute(Constants.USER_KEY,usef); //set the bean to
the values returned by the query
return (mapping.findForward("/editUser")); //call the EditUserAction befor displaying
the userform.jsp
EditUserAction
==============
UserBean user=(UserBean) servlet.getServletContext().getAttribute(Constants.USER_KEY);
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
// Populate the user registration form
if (form == null) {
form = new UserForm();
if ("request".equals(mapping.getScope()))
request.setAttribute(mapping.getAttribute(), form);
else
session.setAttribute(mapping.getAttribute(), form);
}
UserForm userform = (UserForm) form;
try {
PropertyUtils.copyProperties(userform, user); // Shouldn't this populate the
user to the form?????
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {//Handle the exception }
return (new ActionForward("/userform.jsp"));
userform.jsp
============
............................
<td><html:text property="fname" value=""/></td>
<td><html:text property="sname" value=""/></td>
<td><html:text property="bdate" value=""/> </td>
...........................................
UserForm
========
.................
public void setFname(String name){
this.fname=name;
}
public String getFname(){
return this.fname;
}
public void setSname(String myname){
this.sname=myname;
}
.................
UserBean
=========
public class UserBean {
String fname;
String sname;
String bdate;
String address;
String region;
String post;
String phone;
String faculty;
String dregister;
String email;
String username;
String password;
public void setFname(String first){
this.fname=first;
}
public String getFname(){
return this.fname;
}
................................
After doing all the above I get an empty userform.jsp. Can someome please tell me
what I'm missing?
Thank you in advance,
Konstantina
