Given the facts above, can someone comment on this code in the
struts-example webapp?
from EditSubscriptionAction.java in the execute() method:
// Populate the subscription form
if (form == null) {
if (log.isTraceEnabled()) {
log.trace(" Creating new SubscriptionForm bean under key "
+ mapping.getAttribute());
}
form = new SubscriptionForm();
if ("request".equals(mapping.getScope())) {
request.setAttribute(mapping.getAttribute(), form);
} else {
session.setAttribute(mapping.getAttribute(), form);
}
}
Is that whole block just not necessary?
